Abstract
Objectives To extend the symptomatic spectrum of acute neurologic syndrome associated with dopamine-2 receptor (D2R) antibodies. Methods A 13-year-old adolescent boy was admitted to the Neurology Department with abnormal jaw movements. The initial evaluation included laboratory examinations of blood, chest radiography, brain MRI, EEG, and neuropsychologic tests. Serum and CSF samples were collected for immunologic studies. The clinical outcome of the patient was followed up for 18 months after the first hospitalization. Results Paroxysmal jaw clonus, blepharospasm, and sialorrhea were observed in the patient with a history of Tourette syndrome and obsessive–compulsive disease and with an acute neurologic syndrome associated with D2R antibodies. The symptoms responded to IV methylprednisolone (IVMP), relapsed twice during prednisone reduction, and, finally, improved after the combined treatment of IVMP and IV immunoglobulin. Discussion Recognizing paroxysmal jaw clonus (possibly with blepharospasm and sialorrhea) and considering the relationship between these episodes and D2R antibodies will be helpful in the early diagnosis and treatment of immune neurologic syndromes.

Abstract
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that mediates neuropsychological functions of the central nervous system (CNS). Recent studies have shown the modulatory effect of dopamine on the cells of innate and adaptive immune systems, including Th17 cells, which play a critical role in inflammatory diseases of the CNS. This article reviews the literature data on the role of dopamine in the regulation of neuroinflammation in multiple sclerosis (MS). The influence of dopaminergic receptor targeting on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and MS pathogenesis, as well as the therapeutic potential of dopaminergic drugs as add-on pathogenetic therapy of MS, is discussed.

Abstract
The dopamine (DA) D2 receptor is a member of the G protein-coupled receptors of organisms and plays an important role in immune system regulation. The presence of DA receptors has been widely reported in vertebrates, but few studies have been conducted in shellfish. Here, we identified a novel DA-D2 receptor gene, ScDopR2-1, in the razor clam Sinonovacula constricta. ScDopR2-1 belongs to the family of G protein-coupled receptors, containing seven hydrophobic transmembrane domains, along with 16 predicted N-glycosylation sites and 69 phosphorylation sites. A longer third intracellular loop and a shorter C-terminus in ScDopR2-1 are characteristic features of D2 receptors. ScDopR2-1 is widely expressed in tissues from adult clams, showing high expression in siphon and foot tissues. Furthermore, in response to Vibrio anguillarum challenge, ScDopR2-1 expression levels are significantly increased in liver tissue. Moreover, changes in the activities of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) also indicate that the organism causes an immune response. In summary, the results indicate that ScDopR2-1 plays a pivotal role in antioxidant responses in S. constricta.

Abstract
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infects cells in the Central Nervous System (CNS), where the access of antiretrovirals and antibodies that can kill the virus may be challenging. As a result of the early HIV entry in the brain, infected individuals develop inflammation and neurological deficits at various levels, which are aggravated by drugs of abuse. In the non-human primate model of HIV, we have previously shown that drugs of abuse such as Methamphetamine (Meth) increase brain viral load in correlation with a higher number of CCR5-expressing myeloid cells. CCR5 is a chemokine receptor that may be involved in increasing inflammation, but also, it is a co-receptor for viral entry into target cells. CCR5-expressing myeloid cells are the main targets of HIV in the CNS. Thus, the identification of factors and mechanisms that impact the expression of CCR5 in the brain is critical, as changes in CCR5 levels may affect the infection in the brain. Using a well-characterized in vitro system, with the THP1 human macrophage cell line, we have investigated the hypothesis that the expression of CCR5 is acutely affected by Meth, and examined pathways by which this effect could happen. We found that Meth plays a direct role by regulating the abundance and nuclear translocation of transcription factors with binding sites in the CCR5 promoter. However, we found that the main factor that modifies the CCR5 gene promoter at the epigenetic level towards transcription is Dopamine (DA), a neurotransmitter that is produced primarily in brain regions that are rich in dopaminergic neurons. In THP1 cells, the effect of DA on innate immune CCR5 transcription was mediated by DA receptors (DRDs), mainly DRD4. We also identified a role for DRD1 in suppressing CCR5 expression in this myeloid cell system, with potential implications for therapy. The effect of DA on innate immune CCR5 expression was also detectable on the cell surface during acute time-points, using low doses. In addition, HIV Tat acted by enhancing the surface expression of CCR5, in spite of its poor effect on transcription. Overall, our data suggests that the exposure of myeloid cells to Meth in the context of presence of HIV peptides such as Tat, may affect the number of HIV targets by modulating CCR5 expression, through a combination of DA-dependent and–independent mechanisms. Other drugs that increase DA may affect similar mechanisms. The implications of these epigenetic and translational mechanisms in enhancing HIV infection in the brain and elsewhere are demonstrated.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder implicitly marked by the substantia nigra dopaminergic neuron degeneration and explicitly characterized by the motor and non-motor symptom complexes. Apart from the nigrostriatal dopamine depletion, the immune and endocrine study findings are also frequently reported, which, in fact, have helped to broaden the symptom spectrum and better explain the pathogenesis and progression of PD. Nevertheless, based on the neural, immune, and endocrine findings presented above, it is still difficult to fully recapitulate the pathophysiologic process of PD. Therefore, here, in this review, we have proposed the neuroimmunoendocrine (NIE) modulatory network in PD, aiming to achieve a more comprehensive interpretation of the pathogenesis and progression of this disease. As a matter of fact, in addition to the classical motor symptoms, NIE modulatory network can also underlie the non-motor symptoms such as gastrointestinal, neuropsychiatric, circadian rhythm, and sleep disorders in PD. Moreover, the dopamine (DA)-melatonin imbalance in the retino-diencephalic/mesencephalic-pineal axis also provides an alternative explanation for the motor complications in the process of DA replacement therapy. In conclusion, the NIE network can be expected to deepen our understanding and facilitate the multi-dimensional management and therapy of PD in future clinical practice.

Abstract
Antineuronal autoantibodies are associated with the involuntary movement disorder Sydenham chorea (SC) and paediatric autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorders associated with streptococcal infections (PANDAS) which are characterized by the acute onset of tics and/or obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). In SC and PANDAS, autoantibodies signal human neuronal cells and activate calcium calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). Animal models immunized with group A streptococcal antigens demonstrate autoantibodies against dopamine receptors and concomitantly altered behaviours. Human monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) derived from SC target and signal the dopamine D2L (long) receptor (D2R). Antibodies against D2R were elevated over normal levels in SC and acute-onset PANDAS with small choreiform movements, but were not elevated over normal levels in PANDAS-like chronic tics and OCD. The expression of human SC-derived anti-D2R autoantibody V gene in B cells and serum of transgenic mice demonstrated that the human autoantibody targets dopaminergic neurones in the basal ganglia and other types of neurones in the cortex. Here, we review current evidence supporting the hypothesis that antineuronal antibodies, specifically against dopamine receptors, follow streptococcal exposures and may target dopamine receptors and alter central dopamine pathways leading to movement and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Abstract
The neuropathogenesis of HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) remains puzzling. We interrogated several levels of data (host genetic, histopathology, brain viral load, and neurocognitive) to identify histopathological changes most relevant to HAND. The design of the study is a clinicopathological study employing genetic association analyses. Data and brain tissue from 80 HIV-infected adults were used. Markers in monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), interleukin 1-alpha (IL1-α), macrophage inflammatory protein 1-alpha (MIP1-α), DRD3, DRD2, and apolipoprotein E (ApoE) were genotyped. Microtubule associated protein 2 (MAP2), synaptophysin (SYP), human leukocyte antigen-DR (HLA-DR), glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), amyloid beta (A-Beta), and ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule-1 (Iba-1) immunoreactivity were quantified in the frontal cortex, putamen, and hippocampus. A composite score for each marker (mean of the three brain regions) was used. Neurocognitive functioning and other clinical variables were determined within 1 year of death. Brain HIV RNA viral load was available for a subset of cases. MAP2 and SYP proved most relevant to neurocognitive functioning. Immunoreactivity of these markers, as well as A-Beta and Iba-1, was correlated with brain HIV RNA viral load. Several genetic markers in combination with other factors predicted histopathology: HIV blood viral load, MIP1-α genotype, and DRD3 genotype predicted Iba-1 immunoreactivity; the duration of infection and IL1-α genotype predicted GFAP immunoreactivity; ApoE genotype and age at death predicted A-Beta immunoreactivity. These data indicate that HIV replication in the brain is the primary driving force leading to neuroinflammation and dysfunctional protein clearance, as reflected by A-Beta and Iba-1. Downstream to these changes are synaptodendritic degeneration, which is the immediate histopathological substrate of the neurocognitive impairment characteristic of HAND. These intermediate histopathological phenotypes are influenced by host genetic polymorphisms in genes encoding cytokines/chemokines, neuronal protein clearance pathways, and dopaminergic factors.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of repeated electroacupuncture (EA) on the expression of cannabinoid receptor-1 (CB 1) mrRNA and dopamine 1 receptor (D 1) mRNA in Nucleus Accumbens (NAC)-Caudate Nucleus (CN) region in inflammatory-pain rats, so as to study its underlying mechanism in analgesia. METHODS A total of 30 SD rats were randomized into normal control, model, EA, EA+ AM 251 and WIN 55212-2 groups, with 6 cases in each group. EA (2 Hz/100 Hz, 1 -3 mA) was applied to "Zusanli"(ST 36) and "Kunlun"(BL 60) for 30 min, once every other day, and 4 sessions all together. Arthritis model was established by injection of Freund's complete adjuvant 0.05 mL in the rat's left ankle. Thermal pain threshold (paw withdrawal latency, PWL) was detected before and after modeling and after repeated EA and/or intraperitoneal injection of AM 251(an inverse antagonist at the CB 1 cannabinoid receptor, 0. 1 mg/100 g) and WIN 55212-2 (a potent cannabinoid receptor agonist, 0. 2 mg/100 g). The expression of CB 1 receptor mRNA and D 1 receptor mRNA in the NAC-CN region was measured by real time fluorescence quantitative-polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS Compared with the control group, the pain threshold values of the model group was decreased significantly (P<0.01). In comparison with the model group, the pain threshold values of the EA group and WIN 55212-2 group were increased considerably on day 10 (P<0. 01). No significant differences were found between the EA+ AM 251 and model groups and between the EA and WIN 55212-2 groups in PWL after the treatment (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, both CB 1 R mRNA and D 1 R mRNA expression levels in the model group were increased slightly, while in comparison with the model group and EA+ AM 251 group, CB 1 R mRNA and D 1 R mRNA expression levels in the EA group and WIN 55212-2 group were upregulated obviously. No significant differences were found between the EA + AM 251 and model groups and between the EA and WIN 55212-2 groups in CB 1 R mRNA and D 1 R mRNA expression levels.

Abstract
The neurotransmitter dopamine (DA) is an important molecule bridging the nervous and immune systems. DA through autocrine/paracrine manner modulates the functions of immune effector cells by acting through its receptors present in these cells. DA also has unique and opposite effects on T cell functions. Although DA activates naïve or resting T cells, but it inhibits activated T cells. In addition, changes in the expression of DA receptors and their signaling pathways especially in T cells are associated with altered immune functions in disorders like schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease. These results suggest an immunoregulatory role of DA. Therefore, targeting DA receptors and their signaling pathways in these cells by using DA receptor agonists and antagonists may be useful for the treatment of diseases where DA induced altered immunity play a pathogenic role.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dopamine exists in the immune system and has obvious immunomodulating action. However, receptor mechanism underlying the dopamine immunomodulation remains to be clarified. In the present study, we provide the evidence for existence of dopamine receptor subtypes in T lymphocytes and show the roles of the receptors and the receptor-coupled signaling in mediating the dopamine immunomodulation. METHODS The purified T lymphocytes from the mesenteric lymph nodes of mice were detected for expressions of all five subtypes of dopamine receptor mRNAs by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Lymphocyte proliferation and production of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) in response to concanavalin A (Con A) were measured by colorimetric methyl-thiazole-tetrazolium assay and cytometric bead array, respectively, after the cells were exposed to dopamine D1-like or D2-like receptor agonists and antagonists. Meanwhile, content of cAMP and phosphorylation of cAMP-response element-binding (CREB) in the lymphocytes were examined by 125I-cAMP radioimmunoassay and Western blot assay, respectively. RESULTS T lymphocytes expressed all the five subtypes of dopamine receptor mRNAs, i.e., D1, D2, D3, D4 and D5 receptors. SKF38393, an agonist of dopamine D1-like receptors (D1 and D5 receptors) only reduced the IFN-γ production, but did not significantly affect the proliferative response, IL-4 production, cAMP content or CREB activation of the lymphocytes. The SKF38393-induced decrease in IFN-γ level was blocked by the D1-like receptor antagonist SCH23390. Quinpirole, an agonist of dopamine D2-like receptors (D2, D3 and D4 receptors) attenuated the lymphocyte proliferation to Con A, and decreased the IFN-γ but increased the IL-4 production. Meanwhile, the quinpirole diminished the cAMP content and the phosphorylated CREB level in the lymphocytes. All the quinpirole-induced changes were reversed by dopamine D2-like receptor antagonist haloperidol. CONCLUSIONS Five dopamine receptor subtypes of the two families, D1-like and D2-like receptors, exist on T lymphocytes of mice. Of the two families, D2-like receptors are more important in mediating modulation of T cell function than D1-like receptors. D2-like receptors are involved in suppression of T helper 1 (Th1) cell function and enhancement of Th2 cell function through negative link to cAMP-CREB pathway.

Abstract
A cluster of manuscripts in this issue of the Journal highlights a lack of selectivity of 49 antibodies against 19 subtypes of alpha(1)- and beta-adrenoceptors, muscarinic, dopamine and galanin receptors as well as vanilloid (TRPV1) receptors. Taken together these data demonstrate that lack of selectivity appears to be the rule rather than the exception for antibodies against G-protein-coupled and perhaps also other receptors. Thus, the previously often applied validation of such antibodies by the disappearance of staining in the presence of blocking peptide, i.e. the antigen against which the antibody was raised, alone is insufficient to demonstrate specificity. We propose that receptor antibodies should be validated by at least one of the following techniques: a) disappearance of staining in knock-out animals of the target receptor, b) reduction of staining upon knock-down approaches such as siRNA treatment, c) selectivity of staining in immunoblots or immunocytochemistry for the target receptor vs. related subtypes when expressed in the same cell line and/or d) antibodies raised against multiple distinct epitopes of a receptor yielding very similar staining patterns. Other issues of consideration to obtain reliable results based on receptor antibodies in applications such as immunohistochemistry or immunoblotting are also being discussed.

Abstract
Here we review the evidence for immune cells expressing multiple components of the serotonergic and dopaminergic systems that are more commonly associated with the central nervous system (CNS). We discuss where and how peripheral encounters with these biogenic monoamines occur and posit reasons as to why the immune system would wish to deploy these pathways. A full taxonomy of serotonergic and dopaminergic constituents and their workings in component cells of the immune system should facilitate the formulation of novel therapeutic approaches in diseases characterized by immune dysfunction and potentially provide a range of surrogate peripheral markers for registering and monitoring disturbances within the CNS.

Abstract
The human polyomavirus, JCV, causes the fatal demyelinating disease progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy in immunocompromised patients. We found that the serotonergic receptor 5HT2AR could act as the cellular receptor for JCV on human glial cells. The 5HT2A receptor antagonists inhibited JCV infection, and monoclonal antibodies directed at 5HT2A receptors blocked infection of glial cells by JCV, but not by SV40. Transfection of 5HT2A receptor-negative HeLa cells with a 5HT2A receptor rescued virus infection, and this infection was blocked by antibody to the 5HT2A receptor. A tagged 5HT2A receptor colocalized with labeled JCV in an endosomal compartment following internalization. Serotonin receptor antagonists may thus be useful in the treatment of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.

Abstract
Studies reported here demonstrated that activation of the dopaminergic system induces increases in the immune response regardless of the type of behavior in mice (line CBA), i.e., in aggressive mice, submissive mice, and mice lacking experience of victory or defeat (controls). Changes in the activity of the dopaminergic system were induced with SKF-38393, a selective agonist of dopamine D1 receptors, and with p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA), which we have previously shown to activate D2 receptors. In the aggressive form of behavior, which was characterized by strong (compared with controls) immune responses, SKF-38393 and PCPA led to further increases in the immune response. In submissive mice, activation of the dopaminergic system altered the nature of the immune response, with immunostimulation, as in aggression. It is suggested that activation of the dopaminergic system in conditions of defined psychoemotional status fixed by acquisition of opposite types of behavior, induces the formation of a new neurochemical pattern--the dopaminergic set--which led to changes in the nature and intensity of the immune response.

Abstract
It was shown that activation of dopaminergic (Daergic) system induced an increase of the immune responsiveness independent of the CBA mice behaviour typeanimals without experience of victories and defeats (control), with aggression and submission. Administration of SKF-38393, a selective agonist of DA D1-receptors, resulted in enhanced immune response as tested by plaque-forming cells and rosette-forming cells number. Similar immunostimulation was observed after injection of p-chlorophenylalanine realizing its influence on the immune response through DA D2-receptors as shown by us elsewhere. It was suggested that activation of Da-ergic system produces a new neurochemical pattern (Daergic neurochemical set) which are responsible for character and intensity changes of the immune response in mice with alternative form of social behaviour.

Abstract
The expression of dopamine receptors by human platelets was investigated by Western blot analysis and immunocytochemical techniques using antibodies raised against dopamine D1-D5 receptor protein. The influence of dopamine D1-like and D2-like receptor agonists on adrenaline-induced platelet aggregation was also investigated. Western blot analysis revealed that platelet membranes bind anti-dopamine D3 or D5 receptor protein antibodies, but not anti-D1, D2 or D4 receptor protein antibodies. Cytospin centrifuged human platelets exposed to anti-dopamine D3 or D5 receptor protein antibodies developed a specific immune staining, whereas no positive staining was noticeable in platelets exposed to other antibodies tested. Both the D1-like receptor agonist 1-phenyl2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-(1H)-3-benzazepine-7,8-diol hydrochloride (SKF 38393) and the D2-like receptor agonist 7-hydroxy-N,N-di-n-propyl-2-aminotetralin (7-OH-DPAT) dose-dependently inhibited adrenaline-induced platelet aggregation. These effects were decreased respectively by the D-like and D2-like receptor antagonists R(+)-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-3-methyl-5-phenyl-1H-3-benzazepin-7-ol hydrochloride (SCH 23390) and (-)sulpiride. The above findings indicate that human platelets express dopamine D3 and D5 receptors probably involved in the regulation of platelet function.

Abstract
The possible correction of the immune response affecting the mechanisms of neuroimmunomodulation in the animal model of immobilization stress is considered. Immobilization (3 h on the back) of CBA mice caused a suppression of the immune response. The number of plaque-forming cell (PFC) on the 4th day as well as rosette-forming cell (RFC) number on the 5th day of the immune reaction to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) were found to be reduced as compared to the control. Immunoinhibition in the stressed mice was reversed by the depletion of the cerebral serotonin (5-HT) with p-chlorophenylalanine (PCPA) 2 days before immobilization at a dose of 500 mg/kg. Activation of postsynaptic D-1 and D-2 dopamine (DA) receptors with apomorphine administered 30 min before stress attenuated stress-induced immunosuppression as well. Thus, the immunosuppression elicited by a stressor can be modified by drugs influencing the 5-HT and DAergic systems. It is suggested that the stress-provoked alterations of the immune response can be a consequence of changing neurochemical pattern of the brain and the disturbances of the mechanisms of psychoneuroimunomodulation.

Abstract
The stimulatory and inhibitory effects of dopamine (DA) upon avian prolactin (PRL) secretion suggest that, in birds, these actions are mediated by multiple DA receptors. To test this hypothesis, combined intracranial infusions of DA and selective D1 or D2 DA receptor blockers, plus electrical stimulation (ES) of the brain and vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) immunoneutralization, were used to characterize the actions of DA on PRL secretion in the turkey. Blockade of D1 DA receptors prevented the increase in circulating PRL observed in response to infusion of stimulatory concentrations of DA or to ES. Stimulatory infusions of DA also failed to increase circulating PRL in birds immunized against VIP. Results from infusion of the D2 DA receptor antagonist were unclear. Low concentrations had no effect, while the highest concentration (100 nmol/min) produced an increase in plasma PRL. At the high concentration the drug may be affecting PRL secretion by (1) acting nonspecifically, (2) acting as a partial DA agonist on D1 DA receptors, or (3) diffusion to the pituitary and blockade of D2 receptors there. These data suggest that avian PRL secretion is mediated by D1 DA receptors within the brain and that the stimulatory effect of DA upon PRL secretion requires an intact VIPergic system.

Abstract
To achieve a better understanding of how D5 dopamine receptors mediate the actions of dopamine in brain, we have developed antibodies specific for the D5 receptor. D5 antibodies reacted with recombinant baculovirus-infected Sf9 cells expressing the D5 receptor but not with the D1 receptor or a variety of other catecholaminergic and muscarinic receptors. Epitope-tagged D5 receptors expressed in mammalian cells were reactive with both D5 antibodies and an epitope-specific probe. A mixture of N-linked glycosylated polypeptides and higher molecular-mass species was detected on immunoblots of membrane fractions of D5-transfected cells and also of primate brain. D5 receptor antibodies intensely labeled pyramidal neurons in the prefrontal cortex, whereas spiny medium-sized neurons and aspiny large interneurons of the caudate nucleus were relatively lightly labeled. Antibodies to the D5 dopamine receptor should prove important in experimentally determining specific roles for the D5 and D1 receptors in cortical processes and diseases.

Abstract
We have developed a range of specific anti-peptide antibodies directed against the D2 and D3 dopamine receptors, and their alternatively spliced isoforms. To demonstrate the subtype- and isoform-specificities of these antibodies we have expressed the receptors in an in vitro translation system and have immunoprecipitated the expressed proteins. We have shown that the D2 and D3 receptors unexpectedly exhibit different migration properties on SDS-PAGE, in addition to displaying a significant difference between their predicted and apparent molecular weights. We have used D2/D3 chimaeric receptors to show that the differential migration between the subtypes can be attributed to the N-terminal half of the receptor and propose that the highly hydrophobic nature of the receptor proteins underlies their anomalous migration properties.

Abstract
Anti-peptide antibodies were generated against amino acid sequences of intracellular and extracellular portions of the native proteins for the cloned rat D1A and D3 dopamine receptor subtypes in order to determine the cellular distribution of these specific forms in the brain. These polyclonal antisera exhibited high specific titers, assessed by ELISA and immunofluorescent detection of functional recombinant receptor proteins expressed in stably transfected Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Central nervous system (CNS) areas of the male rat were examined using standard immunofluorescent methods in fresh frozen tissues. This paradigm detected D1A-like and D3-like dopamine receptor staining primarily in larger-sized neurons throughout layers 3 and 5 of the cortex, in medium-diameter somata of the striatum, and in the densely packed cells of the olfactory tubercle and hippocampal formation. More attenuated immunoreactivity for both dopamine receptor subtypes was noted in the substantia nigra, not associated with perikarya. Differences in cellular staining patterns and intensity were evident between the D1A-like and D3-like dopamine receptor subtypes. Equivalent morphological elements exhibited dopamine receptor expression following incubation using antisera generated against either extracellular or intracellular epitopes of either the D1A or D3 native proteins. Dopamine receptor immunoreactivity could not be detected in the cerebellum at equivalent antisera dilutions used to discriminate cellular staining patterns within the forebrain. Fluorescent-labeled latex microspheres were infused into the substantia nigra terminal fields to retrogradely identify the cell bodies of the striatonigral projection system. This paradigm showed that 80% of striatonigral neurons expressed D1A-like receptors, while 65% demonstrated D3-like dopamine receptor staining. This distribution for the D1A-like and D3-like receptor subtypes suggests that overlap may occur in the expression of the receptors in the striatonigral neuron population. Our previous results localizing cellular D2-like receptor expression patterns in this projection system of the rat neostriatum implies that all three of these dopamine receptor subtypes may be co-expressed in this efferent system.

Abstract
Organotypic cultures established from the third thoracic ganglion of locust embryo have been used to investigate dopamine receptors. In this in vitro system, neurites emerge directly from the explants and form a dense network around the explants, presenting cell surface freely exposed for experimental labelling. Polyclonal anti-idiotypic antibodies raised in rabbits to antibodies against dopamine conjugate, and previously found to bind to dopamine receptors, have been used to investigate putative dopamine receptors in these neurites. Immunocytochemical detection by light microscopy employing immunofluorescence labelling, was correlated with electron microscopy, using peroxidase staining. In addition to a location for dopamine receptors on the neurite surface, intracellular binding sites were also found in neurites. This internal labelling might represent an intracellular pool of dopamine receptor precursors. The labelling was specific in that it was not present when the anti-idiotypic dopamine antibodies were replaced with non-immune serum or when preincubation with conjugated dopamine preceded incubation with anti-idiotypic dopamine antibodies.

Abstract
A baculovirus expression system provided an enriched source of biologically and immunologically active D3 dopamine receptors. Receptors expressed in Spodoptera frugiperda insect (Sf9) cells at a density of 5 to 15 pmol/mg of protein displayed high affinity for the antagonists, eticlopride, fluphenazine and spiroperidol, and the agonist, N-propylnorapomorphine. The binding of agonists was not sensitive to GTP. Antisera raised against synthetic peptides in the third intracellular loop of the D3 dopamine receptor immunoprecipitated binding sites for (S)-3-[125I]-iodo-2-hydroxy-5,6-dimethoxy-N-[(1-ethyl-2-pyrrolidinyl)- methyl]-benzamide from solubilized extracts of infected Sf9 cells and detergent extracts of rat caudate. These antisera specifically recognized a single band on immunoblots of Sf9 cells infected with recombinant D3 baculovirus. Both the immunoprecipitation and immunoblot reactions were blocked by preincubation of the antisera with the immunization peptide. These results suggest that the D3 receptor protein is expressed in rat brain.

Abstract
Antisera have been raised against two peptides from the sequence of D2 dopamine receptors: peptide 1 from the predicted second extracellular loop and peptide 2 from the predicted third intracellular loop. The antisera recognize specifically a 95 kDa band in Western blots of several bovine brain regions, which corresponds to the denatured D2 dopamine receptor, whereas in recombinant CHO cells expressing D2 dopamine receptors a 80 kDa band is seen. The antisera immunoprecipitate 10-20% of the D2 dopamine receptors from soluble preparations of bovine brain. The antisera recognize D2 dopamine receptors in immunofluorescence analyses of recombinant CHO cells bearing the receptor gene. The antisera directed against the third intracellular loop, but not those against the second extracellular loop, will interfere with the coupling of D2 dopamine receptors and G-proteins in bovine brain preparations.

Abstract
The bovine dopamine D2 receptor was purified by wheat-germ-agglutinin-Sepharose chromatography and affinity chromatography, using the D2-receptor-specific agonist N-0434. Purification yields a preparation with a major protein band of 95 kDa. In order to ascertain the identity of this protein, polyclonal antibodies against the dopamine D2 receptor have been raised using synthetic peptides based on the predicted amino acid sequence of the cloned D2 receptor. For the initial screening of these antibodies, three fusion proteins consisting of beta-galactosidase and receptor fragments were constructed. One antiserum reacted strongly with the corresponding D2 receptor fusion protein, both on Western blots and in immunoprecipitation experiments. In each case, recognition was inhibited by competition with free peptide. On Western blots of partially purified receptor preparations from bovine striatum, the antiserum specifically recognized a 95-kDa glycoprotein. From similar preparations, the antiserum precipitated a substantial proportion of active D2 receptor, as determined by a decrease in [3H]spiperone binding in the supernatant. Active receptor could be released from the immunoprecipitate by addition of free peptide. Immunocytochemical analysis of cells transiently transfected with DNA coding for the D2 receptor showed specific staining of transfected cells. The antibody raised against a sequence in the third intracellular loop is able to shift the affinity of the receptor for dopamine from high to low, indicating that the antiserum may be interfering with receptor-GTP-binding-protein interactions.

Abstract
The precise distribution of the dopamine type D2 receptor has been mapped for the first time in rat brain using an antibody to D2 receptor protein. Polyclonal antisera were collected from rabbits inoculated with an undecapeptide identical to residues 24-34 of the D2 protein sequence. Rat brain slices, 40 microns in thickness, were incubated with either primary antiserum, the antiserum plus free peptide antigen, or pre-immune serum. Antibody binding was visualized by peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) reaction followed by light microscopy. PAP complex bound moderately-to-densely throughout the medial forebrain bundle, and was seen in more discrete regions in the midbrain, consistent with the binding of D2 radioligands. There were some unexpected results, namely in the cerebral cortex and nucleus accumbens, there were unexpectedly steep gradients in binding density, decreasing caudally; no binding was detected in the hippocampus or the substantia nigra pars reticulata. In all positive-staining regions examined, the antibody was highly localized to neuronal cell bodies, except in the frontal cortex where antibody was also evident on basilar dendrites. These data confirm that the polyclonal antibody recognized dopamine D2 receptor protein throughout the rat brain, and suggest that the D2 receptor is distributed more abundantly on somata than on cellular processes.

Abstract
A monoclonal antibody (Mab) that recognizes the rat dopamine D2 receptor (DAR) has been generated using DAR specific peptide. The Mab, IgM isotype recognizes five proteins (Mr 220, 145, 95, 66 and 47 kDa) in striatal membrane on Western blot. Preincubation of Mab with free peptide blocked the labeling of all five bands. A polyclonal antibody against peptide from a different region of the DAR, reacted with three out of five proteins (220, 66, and 47 kDa) in these membranes. The DAR antagonist NAPS-biotinyl binds to a 220 kDa protein in striatal membrane on ligand blotts; the labeling can be blocked by the addition of 2 microM sulpride. The 220 kDa Mab reactive protein was less in cerebellum and was absent in the liver. Neither the Mab nor polyclonal antibody inhibited binding of a DAR antagonist, [3H]YM09151-2, to the striatal membranes. These antibodies will enable us to study the structure/function and regulation of the synthesis of DAR protein.

Abstract
Hemorrhagic pancreatitis was induced in cats by perfusing pancreatic enzymes through a pancreatic duct after the administration of intragastric ethanol. Dimethyl prostaglandin E2 was administered concurrently. In the first study, dopamine's antiinflammatory effect on the pancreas was determined in the presence of haloperidol, propranolol, or both. Next, dopamine's effects on blood flow in the normal and inflamed pancreas were compared using a hydrogen gas-clearance technique. In the final study, the effect of dopamine on fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled dextran leakage from the pancreatic duct to portal venous blood was investigated. It was found that blockade of either dopamine or beta-adrenergic receptors reduced, and blockade of both receptors completely eliminated, the antiinflammatory effect. Dopamine had no effect on pancreatic blood flow in normal cats. In pancreatitis, although dopamine transiently reduced blood flow, after an hour flow had returned to normal. Dopamine reversed the leakage of fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled dextran from the pancreatic duct caused by ethanol and by ethanol and prostaglandin E2. It was concluded that dopamine ameliorated pancreatitis by reducing pancreatic ductal and/or microvascular permeability rather than by altering pancreatic blood flow. The antiinflammatory effect was mediated by both dopamine and beta-adrenergic receptors.

Abstract
Antibodies against synthetic peptides of the D2 dopamine receptor were used, in combination with photoaffinity labeling, to localize the region of ligand binding in the receptor. Specific antibodies to peptide sequences 221-234 and 259-272 and to the carboxyl-terminal peptide 402-415, all corresponding to cytoplasmic regions in the D2 dopamine receptor, were elicited. After photoaffinity labeling with N-(4-azido-3-[125I]iodophenethyl)spiperone ([125I]NAPS), all three antibodies specifically immunoprecipitated the 90-kDa D2 dopamine receptor. Differential reactivity of the antipeptide antibodies with various proteolytic fragments indicates that [125I]NAPS binds covalently to a 13-kDa fragment of the D2 dopamine receptor. This fragment is immunoprecipitated with anti-peptide 402-415 and not with the other two antipeptide antibodies, indicating that the photoaffinity ligand binds to a fragment that begins beyond amino acid 272 and extends through the carboxyl-terminal end of the receptor.

Abstract
Two peptides corresponding to amino acid sequences predicted from the nucleotide sequence of the dopamine D2 receptor were synthesized. Peptide I (CGSEG-KADRPHYC) and peptide II (NNTDQNECIIY), corresponding to 24-34 and 176-185 from the NH2 terminus, respectively, were conjugated to keyhold limpet hemocyanin and injected into rabbits. Peptide I showed a greater immunogenic response than did peptide II. Both peptide antibodies exhibited high titer for the homologous antigens, but showed little or no cross-reactivity with heterogeneous peptides. Peptide I antibodies reacted with striatal membrane proteins of apparent molecular masses of 120, 90, 85, and 30 kDa on a western blot. Furthermore, the 90-kDa band was identified as denatured D2 receptor by its high affinity for the D2 selective photoaffinity probe 125I-N'-azidospiperone (125I-NAPS). Photoaffinity labeling of the 90-kDa protein by 125I-NAPS was reduced by 40% in the presence of the peptide I antibody. In addition, evidence is also presented to show the low level of 90-kDa protein in cerebellum which contains little or no D2 ligand binding sites. The antibody to peptide I inhibited the binding of [3H]YM-09151-2, a dopamine D2 receptor selective antagonist, to striatal membranes in a concentration-dependent manner; a 50% inhibition was obtained at a 1:500 dilution of the antisera with 20 pM ligand concentration. The data on the equilibrium inhibition kinetics of [3H]YM-09151-2 binding to striatal membranes were examined in the presence of antibody and showed a 25-30% decrease in Bmax (203.5 +/- 11.0 and 164.6 +/- 3.3 fmol/mg of protein in presence of preimmune and immune sera, respectively) with no change in KD.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
We have developed specific antibodies directed against two synthetic peptides corresponding to defined sequences in the D2 dopamine receptor. One peptide is from a region that is present only in the 'long' isoform of the receptor, whereas the other is from a region that is common to both. These antibodies are able to recognize the native receptor as judged by immunocytochemical staining of cells transfected with dopamine receptor DNA. One antibody was shown to be specific for the 'long' form of the receptor and reacts only with cells transfected with the 'long' DNA subtype and not with those transfected with the 'short' DNA subtype. This recognition is specific and can be inhibited by the corresponding free peptide and not by a non-relevant peptide.

Abstract
Balb/c mice were immunized with rat striatal integral membrane proteins. After hybridization of splenocytes with myeloma cells, hybridoma lines secreting antibodies against serotonin, dopamine and opiate receptors were detected by inhibition of ligand binding to brain membrane preparations. Antibodies from two positive lines, Mab/a9 and Mab/a18, were able to inhibit ligand binding to the S2-serotonin (Kd range: 10-100 nM), the mu-opiate (Kd range: 0.4-3 microM) and the delta-opiate receptors (Kd range: 0.7-1.1 microM), while Mab/a9 was also found to inhibit ligand binding to the D2/D4-dopamine receptor (Kd approximately 50 nM). An apparent molecular mass of 60 kDa could be ascribed to the delta-opiate receptor and apparent molecular masses of 29 and 36 kDa to the mu-opiate receptor by ligand elution from immuno-precipitates.

Abstract
It has been shown that administration of muramyl dipeptide (MDP) in a dose of 1 mg/kg simultaneously with SRBC (5 x 10(6) immunization resulted in a considerable increase of immune response. Stimulation of the immune response is prevented by preliminary blockade of dopamine receptors with haloperidol, that testifies to the activation of the dopaminergic system by certain MDP dosages.

Abstract
In CBA mice immunized with sheep red blood cells, the GABA-ergic system was found to act on the immunogenesis depending on the monoaminergic systems activity. The dopaminergic system stimulating immunogenesis is predominant in activation of the GABA-ergic system, whereas the serotoninergic system mediating the inhibition of the immune response is predominant in conditions of the GABA-ergic system blockade.

Abstract
The effect of dopamine in the test of lymphocyte adhesion inhibition in vitro was studied in patients with early (I-IIA) and advanced (IIIB-IV) stages of breast cancer (BC). It was shown that the stimulating effect of dopamine revealed at concentrations of 10(-7)-10(-5) M was blocked by haloperidol (10(-6) M). During a comparative study of dopamine effect at the early and advanced stages of BC it was found that sensitivity of lymphocytes to the stimulating effect of dopamine at the advanced stages of BS was significantly lower as compared to that at the early stages.

Abstract
Dopamine receptors were analyzed in plasma membranes from five null cell adenomas and five normal human pituitary tissues by [3H]spiperone binding. One prolactin (PRL)-producing, one growth hormone (GH)-producing, and an adrenocorticotropic (ACTH)-producing adenoma were also analyzed for dopamine receptors. Immunohistochemical staining showed that all null cell adenomas were positive for chromogranin A, while 20 to 30% of cells in each normal pituitary stained for this marker. The dissociation constant (Kd) and maximal binding capacity (Bmax) were 1.07 +/- 0.49 nM and 148 +/- 34 fmol/mg protein for null cell adenomas and 1.23 +/- 0.20 nM and 107 +/- 21 fmol/mg protein for normal pituitary tissues. The one PRL adenoma had a similar Kd but had a 5.6-fold higher Bmax than the mean Bmax for the null cell adenomas. These results indicate that immunohistochemically characterized null cell adenomas as well as normal pituitaries express dopamine receptors, but that the binding sites in null cell adenomas are much less those in PRL-secreting adenomas.

Abstract
Five stable hybridomas have been obtained that secrete monoclonal antibodies against the D2-dopamine receptor-selective drug spiperone. Each monoclonal antibody has been characterized in terms of its ability to bind a range of dopamine-receptor-selective ligands. One monoclonal antibody has been purified by Protein A affinity chromatography and used to immunize mice. Anti-idiotypic antisera and one hybridoma secreting an anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody were obtained and shown to inhibit [3H]spiperone binding to the anti-spiperone antibody used for immunization. Neither the antisera nor the anti-idiotypic monoclonal antibody, however, inhibited binding of [3H]spiperone to D2-dopamine receptors.

Abstract
For the first time a library, of monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) to the butyrophenone haloperidol (D-2 antagonist) has been prepared. Synthesis of a haloperidol derivative suitable for chemical coupling to a protein carrier via oxobutyric acid produced an immunogen which was used to develop two polyclonal antisera and twelve MoAbs specific for the hapten. Our library of MoAbs can be grouped into three classes; 1) high affinity and specificity for free 3H-haloperidol, 2) moderate affinity with significant cross-reactivity to other butyrophenone ligands, and 3) a group which binds poorly to free 3H-haloperidol but instead recognizes the ligand only when it is coupled to carrier protein. Clone (189(2)-6) was found to have the highest equilibrium binding affinity (Kd = 4 nM) and is far more specific than the currently available antisera to haloperidol. This MoAb has significantly lower affinity for all of the common metabolites of haloperidol. This capability makes 189(2)-6 a candidate for further development with regard to use in clinical radioimmuno-assays of therapeutic drug levels. In addition, one of the anti-haloperidol Moabs (190(2)-6) binds more tightly to spiperone than to haloperidol and displays a qualitative correlation in the rank order of neuroleptic binding affinity for a limited series of analogs when compared to membrane bound D-2 receptor binding.

Abstract
Prolactinomas pose an increasingly frequent therapeutic dilemma for the clinician. The neurosurgeon caring for the prolactinoma-bearing patient must stay abreast of the most current basic research concerning the pathogenesis of these often difficult tumors. A fascinating and dynamic line of research involves the possibility that prolactinomas arise secondary to a flaw in the normally inhibitory dopaminergic neurohypophyseal axis. The details of this hypothesis are presented, the current literature surrounding this topic is reviewed, and a brief synthesis of the available theoretical models of prolactinoma pathogenesis is provided.

Abstract
The monoamine systems take part in the mechanisms of immunomodulation: the dopaminergic one accelerates and the serotoninergic system inhibits the development of immune response, the final result being determined by their interaction. The immunomodulation is actualized by the dopaminergic system through the thymus and by the serotoninergic one--through the adrenals.

Abstract
Spiroperidol was covalently conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA). Conjugated spiroperidol was almost as efficient as free spiroperidol in its binding capacity to dopamine receptor. Antibodies to spiroperidol were produced in rabbits following repeated immunizations with the conjugate of spiroperidol and BSA. The obtained antibodies have an apparent KD of 0.02 nM for [3H]-spiroperidol. These antibodies bind also to other butyrophenones with IC50 values three to four orders of magnitude higher than the IC50 obtained with unlabeled spiroperidol. Antibodies were purified from anti-spiroperidol sera by affinity chromatography. Anti-idiotypic antibodies were raised in rabbits by immunization with the purified anti-spiroperidol antibodies. Some rabbits produced anti-idiotypic antibodies which bind to rat and calf striatum.

Abstract
Schizophrenia shares several genetic features with diseases known to be autoimmune and could therefore be an autoimmune disease itself. Antipsychotic drugs, which are effective in treating the psychotic symptoms of schizophrenia, have one property in common--they block dopamine receptors in the central nervous system. This observation has led to the hypothesis that overactivity of dopaminergic pathways is the cause of the psychotic symptoms, but a seeming anomaly is that the turnover of dopamine is not increased in schizophrenia. Dopamine-receptor-stimulating autoantibodies are postulated to cause the dopaminergic hyperactivity, thereby accounting for the anomaly.

Abstract
Haloperidol blockade of the dopaminergic system entails redistribution of functionally different cells. Suppressors of IgM and IgG response migrate, respectively, from the spleen and lymph nodes to the bone marrow whose cell transfer leads to inhibition of immune response. The data obtained indicate common regularities in cell distribution under blockade of the dopaminergic and activation of serotoninergic systems. Therefore, at the basis of inhibition of immunogenesis there lie monotypic processes of suppressor cell migration whatever the system responsible for it.

Abstract
Certain specificities of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system have been shown to be associated with particular diseases. A review of recent studies in schizophrenia shows inconsistent results for schizophrenia as a whole, although a significant increase in HLA A28 remains on combining the data. There are more consistent findings for disease subtypes. In particular, HLA A9 and HLA CW4 are increased in paranoid schizophrenics, while HLA A1 and the A1-B8 haplotype are increased in nuclear forms. It is postulated that the relationship between the schizophrenias and certain HLA types could be due to an influence of the latter upon neuronal post-synaptic membrane sensitivity to central neurotransmitters such as dopamine.
