Abstract:

CD80 is a costimulatory factor mainly expressed on the surface of activated monocytes, B cells and dendritic cells. In this study, we demonstrate that 24% of healthy individuals have soluble forms of CD80, sCD80, in their serum. The concentration of sCD80 ranged from 0 to 1 mg/l. At the mRNA level, we detected a spliced form s1CD80 (771 bp), in unstimulated monocytes and B cells, while another form named s2CD80 (489 bp) was expressed in activated T cells as well as in freshly isolated and activated monocytes. s1CD80 lacks the transmembrane domain, and the IgC-like domain plus the transmembrane domain are spliced out of s2CD80. We also present data demonstrating that recombinant s1CD80 binds to recombinant CD152-Ig and CD28-Ig. It can also bind to T cells, preferentially to activated T cells. Recombinant sCD80 had immunomodulatory effects shown by its inhibition of the mixed lymphocyte reaction and inhibition of T-cell proliferation. sCD80 in human serum adds a new member to the family of soluble receptors, implying a network of soluble costimulatory factors with functional relevance. The inhibitory effect of the recombinant protein on T-cell activation makes it a possible candidate for treatment of diseases associated with hyperactivated T cells.
