Background Information
CD200 (OX-2) is a cell surface glycoprotein that regulates immune responses through its receptor, CD200R, mainly expressed on myeloid cells. It plays a crucial role in suppressing alloimmune and autoimmune responses, contributing to immune privilege in various tissues. CD200-CD200R signaling is essential in regulating anti-tumor immunity, with overexpression linked to malignancies like chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and cancer stem cells. Additionally, CD200 signaling is involved in the central nervous system, particularly in diseases like Parkinson's, where it affects microglia activation. Elevated CD200 expression is associated with reduced transplant rejection, autoimmunity, and allergic diseases, but may also promote tumor cell survival. While it helps prevent graft rejection and autoimmune diseases, high CD200 levels in cancers have been linked to poor prognosis. This dual role underscores the complexity of CD200 in immune regulation and its potential as both a therapeutic target and a biomarker.
