DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): CD81 is a tetraspanin with several immunoregulatory functions. On T cells antibody to CD81 activates LFA-1 and can provide co-stimulatory signals with TCR/CD3 to promote T cell activation. Antibody to CD81 can also block early T cell development. CD81-/- mice have impaired Th2 responses and are resistant to allergen induced airway hyperreactivity. CD81 is a receptor for the hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope protein E2, and binding of E2 to CD81 induces effects similar to those caused by anti-CD81 antibodies. The mechanism by which CD81 regulates T cell activity is unknown. It was recently discovered that on T cells CD81 is physically associated with a novel Ig-superfamily member called PGRL. PGRL may regulate prostaglandin (PG) responses on T cells. In broad terms this proposal seeks evidence of a connection between specific PGs, CD81 and the regulation of T cell adhesion and motility via LFA-I. Specifically this project will: 1) Identify the CD81-mediated signals that cause LFA-1 activation on T cells. The role of palmitoylation and the recruitment of a specific scaffold protein involved in signal transduction will be studied. A novel LFA-1 avidity assay using flow cytometry and ICAM-coated fluorescent microspheres will be used to identify signaling intermediates between CD81 and LFA-1. 2) Define the structural and molecular features of CD81-PGRL complexes. This aim will employ CD81 and PGRL mutagenesis, and biochemical techniques including MALDI-TOF MS to test the hypothesis that CD81 serves as a transmembrane adapter protein linking PGRL with an intracellular signaling protein. 3) Determine whether CD81 and/or PGRL interact with or regulate the activity of EP3. The affinity of EP3 will be tested in the presence or absence of antibody to CD81 or PGRL and tested under conditions which control the co-expression of PGRL and CD81 or in the presence of soluble PGRL. The coordinated effect of CD81, PGRL and EP3 on T cell integrin activity measured by adhesion to or motility on ICAMs.

描述（由申请人提供）：CD81是一种具有多种免疫调节功能的四叠腺苷。在T细胞上，CD81抗体激活LFA-1，并可以提供与TCR/CD3的共刺激信号以促进T细胞激活。 CD81的抗体也可以阻止早期T细胞发育。 CD81 - / - 小鼠的TH2反应受损，并且对过敏原诱导的气道高反应性具有抗性。 CD81是丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）包膜蛋白E2的受体，E2与CD81的结合诱导了与抗CD81抗体引起的相似的作用。 CD81调节T细胞活性的机制尚不清楚。最近发现，在T细胞上，CD81在物理上与一种新型的Ig-Superfamily成员（称为PGRL）相关。 PGRL可以调节T细胞上的前列腺素（PG）反应。从广义上讲，该提案寻求证据表明特定PG，CD81与通过LFA-I调节T细胞粘附和运动性之间的联系。具体而言，该项目将：1）确定在T细胞上引起LFA-1激活的CD81介导的信号。将研究棕榈酰化的作用和参与信号转导的特定支架蛋白的募集。使用流式细胞术和ICAM涂层的荧光微球的新型LFA-1亲和力测定将用于识别CD81和LFA-1之间的信号传导中间体。 2）定义CD81-PGRL复合物的结构和分子特征。该目标将采用CD81和PGRL诱变，以及包括MALDI-TOF MS（MALDI-TOF MS）在内的生化技术，以测试CD81用作跨膜适配器蛋白将PGRL与细胞内信号传导蛋白联系起来的假设。 3）确定CD81和/或PGRL是否与EP3的活性相互作用或调节。 EP3的亲和力将在存在或不存在CD81或PGRL抗体的情况下测试，并在控制PGRL和CD81的共表达或存在可溶性PGRL的条件下进行测试。 CD81，PGRL和EP3对通过与ICAM上的运动或运动测量的T细胞整合素活性的协调作用。
