Description
The monoclonal antibody Ba103 recognizes mouse CD200 Receptor-like 3 (CD200R3), a protein of ~38 kDa or ~74 kDa (reduced or non-reduced condition, respectively). CD200R3 presumably exists as a disulfide-linked dimer on the cell surface, it is a single-pass type I membrane protein.
The OX-2, or CD200 receptor (CD200R), belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. CD200R contains two Ig-like extracellular domains, one Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain and one Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain. and mediates inhibitory signals in myeloid cells. Mice deficient for the ligand CD200 develop enhanced experimental allergic encephalomyelitis and collagen-induced arthritis. Unlike CD200R, the CD200R-like receptors function as activating receptors. They contain short cytoplasmic tails and a lysine residue in the transmembrane region and are likely to signal via adaptor proteins such as DAP12, DAP10, FcR, or CD3.
CD200R3 is expressed in uterus and bone marrow-derived mast cells (at protein level). It is expressed in uterus, spleen, bone marrow-derived dendritic, basophil and mast cells. CD200R3 is also expressed in the lung of N. brasiliensis-infected mice. It is weakly expressed in brain, testis, lung and thymus.
CD200R3 is expressed preferentially on cells of the myeloid lineage, including mast cells and basophils. Both cell types are involved in the host defense system against pathogens and in the development of allergic disorders. They function as independent essential initiators of allergic reactions. Basophils are the least common leukocytes in the peripheral blood accounting approximately 0.5 % of all leukocytes. In vivo depletion of basophils by using monoclonal antibody Ba103 proved the essential role of basophils in the development and maintenance of IgE-mediated chronic allergic inflammation.
The activating CD200 receptors, like CD200R3, play an important role in IgE-independent mast cell and basophil activation. Monoclonal antibody Ba103 activates basophils ex vivo and elicits systemic anaphylaxis when administered in vivo. Cross-linking of CD200R3 on MC/9 cells by monoclonal antibody Ba103 induces degranulation. Furthermore, monoclonal antibody Ba103 is useful for depletion of basophils.

Applications FC, FS and W were tested by Hycult Biotech.
Application notes
WB: reduced and non-reduced MC/9 lysate; band size 38kDa under reducing conditions and 74 kDa under nonreducing conditions
FC: Basophils and mast cells; no fixation needed
FS: antagonist in basophil-mediated allergic reactions; a single intravenous administration of 30 µg antibody . The biological activity of the antibody is drastic reduction in the basophile number in the peripheral blood and spleen, to approximately 20% of the normal level; also useful for mast cell degranulation; readout by measuring hexosaminidase activity
IP: mast cells were lysed with 1% NP-40 containing lysis buffer with proteinase inhibitor mixture before incubation with the antibody

Flow cytometric detection of MC/9 cells with monoclonal antibody to CD200R3.
Red line is only cells. Black line is isotype control (5 µg/ml). Green line is 5 µg/ml mAb Ba103.
Use
For flow cytometry, Western blotting and immuno precipitation, dilutions to be used depend on detection system applied. It is recommended that users test the reagent and determine their own optimal dilutions. The typical starting working dilution is 1:50. For functional studies, in vitro dilutions have to be optimized in user's experimental setting.

Scientific info
Depletion of basophils by Ba103 and Ba91, antibodies recognizing CD200R3. These antibodies are important tools to gain more insight in the mysterious roles of basophils (Cat. # HM1103 and HM1104).

Although basophils constitute less than 1 % of circulating blood leukocytes, they gain more recognition as key players in the immune system. Basophils are often recruited to the site of allergic inflammation. Furthermore, basophils are candidate effector cells for the immune response against parasites and are a major source of the typical Th2 cytokine IL-4 during parasite infections.
The unavailability of mouse basophil-specific antibodies has long hampered the progress in clarifying the critical roles of basophils.

Monoclonal antibodies Ba91 and Ba103 recognize the CD200 receptor type 3 (CD200R3). CD200R3 functions as an activating receptor on mast cells and basophils to regulate IgE-independent immune responses in cooperation with an inhibitory receptor CD200R.

mAbs Ba91 and Ba103 selectively stain basophils from the peripheral blood, spleen, and bone marrow and mast cells form the peritoneal cavity and skin, but not from the intestine. In vitro incubation of Ba91 or Ba103 together with basophils or mast cells results in degranulation of the cells. Interestingly, intravenous injection of Ba103 into mice results in depletion of basophils but not mast cells.

In conclusion
, mAbs Ba91 and Ba103 are usefool tools to study basophil function in a variety of mice species.
