Neutrophils play a central role in host defenses against infectious microbial pathogens. However, molecular basis for their triggering signals has been incompletely understood. Here, we show molecular and functional characteristics of myeloid- associated immunoglobulinlike receptor (MAIR)-IV. MAIR-IV was preferentially expressed on neutrophils in the peripheral blood, bone marrow, peritonea cavity and spleen. MAIR-IV physically associates with immunoreceptor tyrosine based activating motif (ITAM)-bearing adaptor FcR gamma chain. Cross-linking MAIR-IV with anti-MAIR-IV monoclonal antibody significantly induced secretion of proinflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6 from neutrophils. Thus, MAIR-IV may regulate activation of nentrophils and play an important role for innate immunity. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
