Leukocyte-associated Ig-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1) is a cell-surface molecule that functions as an inhibitory receptor on various immune cells. We developed mAbs to study the expression of mouse leukocyte-associated Ig-like receptor-1 (mLAIR-1) on primary immune cells and established that it is expressed on the majority of cells of the immune system, including T cells, NK cells, monocytes and dendritic cells. Furthermore, mLAIR-1 is inducibly expressed on blood granulocytes in vivo and is differentially expressed upon T cell activation in vitro. Unexpectedly, mLAIR-1 was not expressed on splenic and blood B220(+) B cells. Similar to its human homolog, mLAIR-1 interacted with high affinity with a wide range of collagen molecules. Furthermore, mLAIR-1 specifically interacted in a hydroxyproline-dependent manner with synthetic collagen Gly-Pro-Hyp peptides. We show, for the first time, that mLAIR-1 cross-linking with its ligands inhibits CD3-induced T cell stimulation in vitro. Given the similarities between the mouse and human receptors, mLAIR-1 may serve as a good model to assess the role of the LAIR-1 receptors in regulation of immune responses.
