Description
Description: The MHR73-11 monoclonal antibody reacts with human CD180 (RP105). This 105 kDa type I transmembrane molecule is a member of the TLR family of proteins characterized by an extracellular domain with leucine-rich repeats and a cytoplasmic domain with homology to the type I IL-1 receptor. RP105 physically associates with another molecule called MD-1 and is expressed on B, monocytes/macrophages, and dendritic cells. Histological studies show that RP105 is expressed mainly on mature B cells in mantle zones, while germinal center cells are either dull or negative. The RP105/MD-1 complex in concert with TLR4 mediates B cell recognition and signaling of LPS. MHR73-11 activates B cells, leading to increases in cell size, expression of the costimulatory molecule CD80, and DNA synthesis. Moreover, ligation of RP105 protects B cells from irradiation- or dexamethasone-induced apoptosis. Thus, RP105 is a signal transduction molecule and plays a role in regulation of B cell growth and death. A significant proportion of circulating B cells in SLE patients is RP105 negative. Loss of RP105 is associated with B cell activation and increased disease activity in SLE patients.
