  NK cells kill cancer cells and infected cells upon activation by cell surface receptors. Human NKp30 is an activating receptor expressed by all mature NK cells. The B7 family member B7H6 has been identified as one ligand for NKp30. Several alternative ligands have also been reported, and the field remains unsettled. To this end, we have identified full‐length functional B7H6 orthologs in rat and cattle, demonstrated by phylogenetic analysis and transfection experiments. In cell–cell contact‐dependent assays, chimeric NKp30 reporter cells responded strongly to B7H6 in rat and cattle. Likewise, rat NKp30 expressing target cells induced strong activation of B7H6 reporter cells. Together, these observations demonstrate that B7H6 is conserved as a functional ligand for NKp30 in mammalian species separated by more than 100 million years of evolution. B7H6 and NKp30 are pseudogenes in laboratory mice. The rat thus represents an attractive experimental animal model to study the NKp30‐B7H6 interaction in vivo. B7H6 was widely expressed among human cancer cell lines, and the expression level correlated strongly with the activation of human NKp30 reporter cells. Furthermore, siRNA knockdown of B7H6 abolished NKp30 reporter responses, suggesting that B7H6 is the major functionally relevant expressed ligand for NKp30 on these cancer cell lines.

  Dendritic cell activating receptor-1 (DCAR1) is a cell-surface receptor encoded by the Antigen Presenting Lectin-like gene Complex (APLEC). We generated a mouse monoclonal antibody against rat DCAR1, and used this to characterize receptor expression and function. Rat DCAR1 was expressed on minor subsets of myeloid cells in lymphoid tissue, but was uniformly expressed at a high level by eosinophils, and at a low level by neutrophils. It was expressed by eosinophils in the peritoneal cavity and the lamina propria of the gut, and by subsets of macrophages or dendritic cells at these sites. Polarization of peritoneal macrophages showed that DCAR1 expression was absent on M1 macrophages, and increased on M2 macrophages. DCAR1 could be expressed as a homodimer and its associated with the activating adaptor protein FcεRIγ. This association allowed efficient phagocytosis of antibody-coated beads. Additionally, cross-linking of DCAR1 on the surface of rat eosinophils lead to production of reactive oxygen species. These data show that DCAR1 is an activating receptor. Its expression on M2 macrophages and eosinophils suggests that it may play a role in the immune response to parasites.

  Natural killer cells are able to recognize and kill target cells according to differences in MHC class I expression. In rodents, the Ly49 receptors are primarily responsible for this MHC differentiation. We previously described the cloning of a novel C-type lectin–like receptor, KLRH1, encoded in the NK complex adjacent to the Ly49 genes and expressed by subsets of NK and NKT cells. MHC influence on selection of KLRH1+ NK cells in congenic strains suggested that KLRH1 may have an MHC ligand, although we were unable to identify any such ligand. In this study, we have used a sensitive reporter system and Fc fusion protein to demonstrate that KLRH1 binds specifically to the classical MHC class I molecule RT1-A2 of the RT1n haplotype. Cytolytic activity of KLRH1-transfected RNK-16 cells was also inhibited by target cells expressing RT1-A2n. Thus, KLRH1 represents a novel family of MHC allele–specific inhibitory receptors expressed by NK cells.

  Innate immune response receptors play an important role in recognizing molecular patterns in pathogens and altered host cells. Among these are the C-type lectin-like receptors, which have been shown to recognize both carbohydrate structures as well as specific protein ligands. The Antigen Presenting cell LEctin-like receptor Complex, APLEC, is an evolutionary conserved gene cluster in the rat, mouse and human, which has been previously described as an immune response locus that influences autoimmunity. This gene complex has been linked to oil-induced arthritis in the rat, and an association has also been shown to rheumatoid arthritis in the man. The Macrophage C-type Lectin, Clecsf8, is a receptor encoded by APLEC. Preliminary data from our group has shown that MCL is upregulated in the arthritis susceptible DA strain, but not in the DA rats containing the arthritis-resistant PVG APLEC genes. We have developed in-house monoclonal antibodies against rat-Clecsf8 to examine the distribution and expression pattern of this receptor in a variety of organs. We have found that this protein is mainly expressed in the monocyte/macrophage lineage, neutrophils and dendritic cells. The presence of Clecsf8 in neutrophils and professional antigen presenting cells suggests a role of this receptor in the early stages of antigen recognition and a possible link to the initiation of the adaptive immunity response.
