Abstract
CD45 is an evolutionary highly conserved receptor protein tyrosine phosphatase exclusively expressed on all nucleated cells of the hematopoietic system. It is characterized by the expression of several isoforms, specific to a certain cell type and the developmental or activation status of the cell. CD45 is one of the key players in the initiation of T cell receptor signaling by controlling the activation of the Src family protein-tyrosine kinases Lck and Fyn. CD45 deficiency results in T- and B-lymphocyte dysfunction in the form of severe combined immune deficiency. It also plays a significant role in autoimmune diseases and cancer as well as in infectious diseases including fungal infections. The knowledge collected on CD45 biology is rather vast, but it remains unclear whether all findings in rodent immune cells also apply to human CD45. This review focuses on human CD45 expression and function and provides an overview on its ligands and role in human pathology.

Abstract
In response to interleukin 6 (IL-6) stimulation, both CD45RO and CD45RB, but not CD45RA, translocate to lipid rafts. However, the significance of this distinct translocation and the downstream signals in CD45 isoforms-participated IL-6 signal are not well understood. Using sucrose fractionation, we found that phosphorylated signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT)3 and STAT1 were mainly localized in lipid rafts in response to IL-6 stimulation, despite both STAT3 and STAT1 localizing in raft and non-raft fractions in the presence or absence of IL-6. On the other hand, extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK), and phosphorylated ERK were localized in non-raft fractions regardless of the existence of IL-6. The rafts inhibitor significantly impeded the phosphorylation of STAT3 and STAT1 and nuclear translocation, but had little effect on (and only postponing) the phosphorylation of ERK. This data suggests that lipid raft-dependent STAT3 and STAT1 pathways are dominant pathways of IL-6 signal in myeloma cells. Interestingly, the phosphorylation level of STAT3 but not STAT1 in CD45+ cells was significantly higher compared to that of CD45- cells, while the phosphorylation level of ERK in CD45+ myeloma cells was relatively low. Furthermore, exogenously expressed CD45RO/RB significantly enhanced STAT3, protein kinase C (PKC) and downstream NF-κB activation; however, CD45RA/RB inhibited IL-6-induced ERK phosphorylation. CD45 also enhanced the nuclear localization of STAT3 but not that of STAT1. In response to IL-6 stimulation, CD45RO moved into raft compartments and formed a complex with STAT3 and PKC in raft fraction, while CD45RA remained outside of lipid rafts and formed a complex with ERK in non-raft fraction. This data suggests a different role of CD45 isoforms in IL-6-induced signaling, indicating that while CD45RA/RB seems inhibit the rafts-unrelated ERK pathway, CD45RO/RB may actually work to enhance the rafts-related STAT3 and PKC/NF-κB pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Polyclonal antithymocyte globulins (ATGs) are used clinically to prevent and treat acute allograft rejection and are believed to modulate the immune response primarily by depleting T cells. However, nondepleting mechanisms may also be important mediators of graft survival. In the present study, 14 lots of thymoglobulin (rabbit ATG) were analyzed and compared for nondepletive immunomodulatory activities in vitro. METHODS Coincubation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells with thymoglobulin induces CD4+CD25(high)Foxp3+ regulatory T cells, which were evaluated for consistent ability to suppress T-cell activation in mixed lymphocyte reactions. The consistency of CD2, CD3, CD11a, and CD45 antigen specificities in thymoglobulin was determined using flow cytometry to measure inhibition of fluorescent monoclonal antibody binding to Jurkat T cells. A transwell chemotaxis assay was established and used to evaluate ATG-mediated inhibition of stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1alpha-driven Jurkat T-cell migration. RESULTS Physiologic levels of thymoglobulin produced nondepletive immunomodulatory activities, which were consistent from batch to batch. All lots of thymoglobulin induced functionally immunosuppressive regulatory T cells and inhibited monoclonal antibody binding to key T-cell surface antigens. In addition, these studies provide the first demonstration that thymoglobulin effectively inhibits CXCR4/SDF-1alpha-driven T-cell chemotaxis. CONCLUSIONS This novel, systematic in vitro analysis of 14 different manufactured lots of thymoglobulin demonstrates the overall consistency of this product and provides further insights into nondepletive mechanisms by which thymoglobulin may generate durable immunoregulation and allograft survival.

Abstract
B220 is the full-length splicing isoform of a tyrosine phosphatase CD45 and is predominantly expressed as a transmembrane protein on B cells. Other splicing isoforms of CD45 are yielded by alternative splicing of exons 4, 5 and 6. Recently, the expression of B220 on peripheral T cells during activation-induced cell death has been reported. To investigate whether B220 is implicated in apoptosis of immature T cells, we analysed (by flow cytometry using the anti-B220 monoclonal antibody, RA3-6B2) the expression of B220 on mouse thymocytes undergoing X-irradiation- and dexamethasone (DEX)-induced apoptosis. The expression of B220 on thymocytes positive for Thy-1 was induced by X-irradiation or DEX treatment and increased with length of incubation. The expression of B220 was pronounced on the apoptotic hypodiploid cells in the fraction showing lower forward scattering values. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction detected mRNA containing exons 4, 5 and 6 of CD45 in normal thymocytes as well as those exposed to X-rays or DEX. Surprisingly, cytoplasmic B220 antigens were detected in a considerable fraction of normal thymocytes. Moreover, the expression level of the 220 000-MW protein in normal thymocytes was similar to that in the thymocytes undergoing apoptosis. During apoptosis, the expression level of B220 antigen was reduced in the cytoplasm but, conversely, up-regulated on the surface of thymocytes. These results suggest that B220 is constitutively expressed as a cytoplasmic form within thymocytes and possibly translocated to the cell membrane during apoptosis.

Abstract
CD45 is cell surface glycoprotein and expressed on all haematopoietic cells except mature erythrocytes and platelets. Eight isoforms of CD45 are generated by alternative splicing of exons 4-6. B220 including all three exons is expressed specifically on pan-B cell lineage. Recently, it was reported that B220 was expressed on apoptotic T cells induced by staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). In the present study, we investigated the expression of B220 on murine thymocytes after whole-body X-irradiation. We used the forward light scattering of flow cytometry as a parameter of cell size, and defined two populations; FSChigh (normal cell size) and FSClow (correspond to apoptotic cell in size) fraction. B220+ cells in FSChigh fraction reached a maximum value (35%) at 18 hr after irradiation. In FSClow fraction, 40-60% cells were positive for B220 at any time points. These results suggest that B220 is expressed on thymocytes in the pre-apoptotic stage, because B220 was expressed on not only FSClow cells but also FSChigh cells.

Abstract
The cell surface protein tyrosine phosphatase CD45 is a major target of IgM anti-T cell autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The autoreactive determinants on CD45 are O-linked glycans expressed on activated T cells and certain T cell lines, rather than linear or conformational polypeptide epitopes or N-linked glycans. To identify oligosaccharide structures that may play a role in the functional interactions of CD45 or are candidate target epitopes of SLE anti-CD45 autoantibodies, autoreactive CD45 purified from Jurkat T cells and non-autoreactive CD45 purified from CLL B cells were tested by ELISA for expression of mucin-type O-glycan structures. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) directed against blood group A, type 1 H chains, type 2 H chains, T, Le(a), sialylated-Le(a), Le(b), sialylated-Le(c), Le(x), sialylated-Le(x), multi-fucosylated Le(x), Le(y), and sialylated-extended Le(v) failed to react with CD45 from either B cells or T cells. However, mAbs directed against Tn (galNAcalpha1-->O-ser/thr) or sialosyl-Tn (neuNAcalpha2-6gaINAcalpha1-->O-ser/thr) structures reacted with CD45 derived from Jurkat T cells, but not from CLL B cells. Anti-Tn mAbs also reacted in western blotting procedures with CD45 isolated from Jurkat T cells, but did not react with CD45 isolated from CEM, MOLT-3, or PEER T cells; Daudi, Raji, or CLL B cells; or resting or Con A-activated PBL. However, anti-sialosyl-Tn mAbs stained blots of CD45 isolated from Jurkat and CEM T cells and Con A-activated PBL, a pattern of reactivity similar to that of the anti-CD45 autoantibodies. Flow cytometric analyses demonstrated that the sialosyl-Tn epitopes are expressed on a subpopulation of CD4 +/CD8- T cells.

Abstract
A prospective longitudinal study investigated for 19 +/- 3) months whether immunophenotypes of peripheral leukocytes were altered in periods of severe training. Leukocyte membrane antigens (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD14, CD16, CD19, CD45, CD45RO, and CD56) of endurance athletes were immunophenotyped (dual-color flow cytometry) and list mode data analyzed by a self-learning classification system in a state of an overtraining syndrome (OT; N = 15) and several occasions without symptoms of staleness (NS; N = 70). Neither at physical rest nor after a short-term highly intensive cycle ergometer exercise session at 110% of the individual anaerobic threshold did cell counts of neutrophils, T, B, and natural killer cells differ between OT and NS. Eosinophils were lower during OT, activated T cells (CD3+HLA/DR+) showed slight increases (NS: 5.5 +/- 2.7; OT 7.3 +/- 2.4% CD3+ of cells; means +/- SD; P < 0.01) during OT without reaching pathological ranges. The cell-surface expression of CD45RO (P < 0.001) on T cells, but not cell concentrations of CD45RO+ T cells, were higher during OT. OT could be classified with high specificities (92%) and sensitivities (93%). It is concluded that OT does not lead to clinically relevant alterations of immunophenotypes in peripheral blood and especially that an immunosuppressive effect cannot be detected. Immunophenotyping may provide help with the diagnosis of OT in future, but the diagnostic approach presented here requires improvements before use in sports medicine practice is enabled.

Abstract
Adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) is an aggressive hematological malignancy etiologically linked to HTLV-I. The clinical subtype classification, age, performance status, serum calcium and LDH levels are major prognostic factors of ATL, but these criteria and factors do not always correlate with prognosis. CD45 is expressed on cells of the hematopoietic system, and plays a pivotal role in antigen-stimulated proliferation of T-lymphocytes. CD45RO is a very light weight isoform of CD45 expressed on activated T-cells. Recent studies have shown that peripheral lymphocytes show two patterns of CD45RO expression in HTLV-I infected individuals which appears to correlate with their clinical outcome. The acute type ATL patients have pattern A with CD45RO+ lymphocytes with intermediate expression (CD45ROint cells), and show a better prognosis than those who do not have any CD45ROint cells. Further studies demonstrated that CD45ROint cells were not infected with HTLV-I, and as a result we suggest that CD45RO expression be considered a marker of host immunity in acute type ATL clinical course, in contrast to the levels of WBC or LDH which are regarded as tumor markers and indicators of tumor mass.

Abstract
CD45 (lymphocyte common antigen) is a receptor-linked protein tyrosine phosphatase that is expressed on all leucocytes, and which plays a crucial role in the function of these cells. On T cells the extracellular domain of CD45 is expressed in several different isoforms, and the particular isoform(s) expressed depends on the particular subpopulation of cell, their state of maturation, and whether or not they have previously been exposed to antigen. It has been established that the expression of CD45 is essential for the activation of T cells via the TCR, and that different CD45 isoforms display a different ability to support T cell activation. Although the tyrosine phosphatase activity of the intracellular region of CD45 has been shown to be crucial for supporting signal transduction from the TCR, the nature of the ligands for the different isoforms of CD45 have been elusive. Moreover, the precise mechanism by which potential ligands may regulate CD45 function is unclear. Interestingly, in T cells CD45 has been shown to associate with numerous molecules, both membrane associated and intracellular; these include components of the TCR-CD3 complex and CD4/CD8. In addition, CD45 is reported to associate with several intracellular protein tyrosine kinases including p56lck and p59fyn of the src family, and ZAP-70 of the Syk family, and with numerous proteins of 29-34 kDa. These CD45-associated molecules may play an important role in regulating CD45 tyrosine phosphatase activity and function. However, although the role of some of the CD45-associated molecules (e.g. CD45-AP and LPAP) has become better understood in recent years, the role of others still remains obscure. This review aims to summarize recent findings on the role of CD45 and CD45-associated molecules in T cell activation, and to highlight issues that seem relevant to ongoing research in this area.

Abstract
The CD45 protein tyrosine phosphatase is expressed in different isoforms that result from alternative splicing of three exons (A, B, and C) encoding regions near the N-terminus of the extracellular part of the molecule. We describe here a novel epitope on the N-terminal end of CD45 that is recognized by the MAb BL-TSub/2. Crossblocking studies showed that BL-TSub/2 and UCHL1 (CD45RO) binding sites are partially overlapping. However, in marked contrast to the CD45RO epitope, protease treatment of cells strongly diminished BL-TSub/2 binding. Similar to the UCHL1 epitope, the BL-TSub/2 binding site involves carbohydrate moieties, since neuraminidase treatment abrogated the reactivity of the MAb. Markedly, preincubation of cells with both CD45 common and CD45RA MAb induced a pronounced increase of BL-TSub/2 binding. This latter finding suggests that crosslinking of the CD45 molecule leads to conformational changes that could influence association of the molecule with putative ligands.

Abstract
To evaluate the role of CD45 (especially that of the ectodomain region B) on immunocyte-thyrocyte signaling in patients with autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), we have examined the in vitro and in vivo effects of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) against with CD45RB, termed MT3. MT3 was added to cultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from patients with AITD and was additionally injected into severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice to which Graves' thyroid cells and intrathyroidal lymphocytes were engrafted. MT3 stimulated proliferation of PBMC when cultured for 2 to 3 days in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and Graves' disease (GD) and in normal controls (NC). However, when cultured for 7 days, the stimulation index [SI: counts per minute (cpm) with mAb/cpm without mAb] was lowered by MT3 in NC and GD patients. However, the mean SI was not lowered in patients with HT. In SCID mice, the concentrations of human immunoglobulin G, antithyroglobulin and antithyroperoxidase antibodies in sera were not significantly changed by injecting MT3. The expression of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DR and intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 on engrafted human thyrocytes decreased after the tissues were engrafted into the control mice to which vehicle alone was injected. However, in the mice injected with MT3, HLA-DR and ICAM-1 expression remained high or up-regulated by the injection.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The CD45RO phenotype of peripheral blood CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes were determined in physically active males (n = 171) and females (n = 70) ranging in age from 15-68 years. Direct immunofluorescence and dual color flow cytometry was performed for analysis. Absolute cell numbers (r = 0.473) and percentages of CD4+ CD45RO+ (r = 0.648) within the CD4+ population, percentage of CD8+ CD45RO+ cells within the CD8+ lymphocytes (r = 0.498) and total lymphocyte number (r = -0.242) correlated significantly (p < 0.001) with age. We conclude that the age-related increase of CD45RO+ T cells indicates a gradual increase of activated T cells.
