Abstract

The Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigens Workshops (HLDA) have since 1984 provided a forum for the characterization and study of leucocyte surface molecules and antibodies against them. HLDA devised the CD nomenclature, which is sanctioned by IUIS. The HLDA Council reviewed and modified the objectives of HLDA in 2004, and changed the name of the organization to Human Cell Differentiation Molecules (HCDM) to reflect the broader objectives. Workshop studies under the HCDM banner proceeded during 2005 and early 2006, culminating in a meeting in May 2006. At that meeting the Council, acting as Nomenclature Committee, approved a number of new CD designations and changes to some pre-existing CD designations, which are summarized in this report.

Introduction

The Human Leucocyte Differentiation Antigens Workshops (HLDA) have since 1984 provided a forum for the characterization and study of leucocyte surface molecules and antibodies against them (Bernard et al., 1984, Reinherz et al., 1985, McMichael et al., 1987, Knapp et al., 1989, Schlossman et al., 1995, Kishimoto et al., 1997, Mason et al., 2002, Zola et al., 2005). HLDA devised the CD nomenclature, which is sanctioned by the IUIS/WHO Nomenclature Committee (Boumsell, 1996, Zola et al., 2003). The HLDA Council reviewed and modified the objectives of HLDA in 2004, and changed the name of the organization to Human Cell Differentiation Molecules (HCDM) to reflect the broader objectives (Zola et al., 2005). Workshop studies under the HCDM banner proceeded during 2005 and early 2006, culminating in a meeting in May 2006.

The aims of this Workshop were defined more narrowly than previous HLDA Workshops, in part because of the short interval between the 8th HLDA and the first HCDM Workshop. Studies were not planned for multiple leucocyte lineages. The aims are summarized as follows:

  • Clarify and bring up to date earlier provisional (CDw) designations.

  • Fill in some of the CD numbers that had previously been reserved for members of molecule families such as chemokine receptors.

  • Allocate CD numbers to new antibodies and new molecules where adequate data was submitted.

  • Initiate multi-laboratory studies on important differentiation markers, irrespective of their cellular location. HCDM Council has previously decided that intracellular molecules that are useful markers of differentiation should be studied by the Workshops, although only surface membrane molecules will be given CD numbers (Zola et al., 2005). Studies on FOXP3 and Zap-70 were planned, because in each case there is an important application but there are disagreements on the best reagents or protocols. A specific question that merits analysis is the potential cross-reactivity of some of the Zap-70 reagents. We did not get enough Zap-70 reagents to do a worthwhile study, and the FOXP3 results were limited by the paucity of antibodies submitted.

Methods, results and discussion

Table 1 lists the existing CDw molecules which were re-classified as CD by the HCDM Council. Table 2 lists new CD assignments. These assignments were based on the Council's current rules for assigning a CD number, viz:

  • at least one Workshop — characterised antibody and good molecular data

  • the antigen is expressed on the surface of cells involved in immune reactions

  • the antibodies react with primary cells (not just transfectants or recombinant protein)

  • the antibody is available.

    Several immune specific cell surface protein markers (cluster of differentiation markers (CD)) had unique WSB SNPs (Cd14,Cd151, Cd177, Cd1d2, Cd200r1, Cd200r2, Cd200r3, Cd200r4, Cd22, Cd244a, Cd248, Cd27, Cd274, Cd300a, Cd300c, Cd300e, Cd300lb, Cd300lf, Cd300lg, Cd320, Cd36, Cd4, Cd44, Cd55, Cd55b, Cd7, Cd72, Cd79b, Cd96, Cdc14b, Cdc42bpg, Cdc45 Cdc6, Cdca2, Cdca8, Cdh1). Expression of these proteins can enhance motility, invasion, and metastasis of cancer cells (Martin et al., 2020; Zola et al., 2007). WSB unique SNPs were found in metabolic and membrane function genes, and alterations in these functions are hallmarks of cancer (Hanahan and Weinberg, 2011).

    Each RT-reaction used 1.5 μL from the 14 μL eluted RNA using the TaqMan MicroRNA Reverse Transcription Kit (Applied Biosystems; CA, USA). The mRNA expressions of Bmpr2, Smad5, Tgfbr2, Smad3, Cd68 and Cd163 (as surrogate for macrophage infiltration) [24,25], were determined using two-step RT-qPCR with random hexamers in combination with TaqMan probes from the Universal probe library (Roche; Basel, Switzerland) (see Table 1). Five hundred nanograms of extracted RNA were used for cDNA synthesis using QuantiNova Reverse Transcription Kit (Qiagen; Hilden, Germany).
