The heptahelical receptor CD97 is a defining member of the EGF-TM7 family of adhesion class receptors. In both humans and mice, CD97 isoforms are expressed with variable numbers of tandemly arranged N-terminal epidermal growth factor-like domains that facilitate interactions with distinct cellular ligands. Results from treatment of mice with mAbs in various disease models have suggested a role for CD97 in leukocyte trafficking. Here, we aimed to thoroughly characterize the expression profile of CD97, and delineate its biological function. To this end, we applied a novel polyclonal Ab, which is the first antiserum suitable for immunohistochemistry, and combined this analysis with the study of Cd97-lacZ knock-in mice. We show that similar to the situation in humans, hematopoietic, epithelial, endothelial, muscle, and fat cells expressed CD97. Despite this broad expression pattern, the Cd97(-/-) mouse that we created had no overt phenotype, except for a mild granulocytosis. Furthermore, granulocyte accumulation at sites of inflammation was normal in the absence of CD97. Interestingly, application of CD97 mAbs blocked granulocyte trafficking after thioglycollate-induced peritonitis in wild-type but not in knock-out mice. Hence, we conclude that CD97 mAbs actively induce an inhibitory effect that disturbs normal granulocyte trafficking, which is not perturbed by the absence of the molecule.
