We have shown that CD200Fc, a chimeric molecule including the extracellular domain of CD200 and a murine immunoglobulin (Ig)G2a Fc region, regulates immune responses and prevents T helper (Th)1 cytokine-triggered spontaneous abortions in mice. CD200 is expressed on a subpopulation of uterine decidua cells and on trophoblast, both in the mouse and human. The receptor(s) for CD200, CD200R(s), was not previously well-characterized.
