| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Since the activation of dendritic cells by allergic compounds (haptens) depends on the ITAM-Syk-CARD9 signal, we searched for myeloid ITAM-coupled receptors that recognize haptens. As a result, we found a plurality of ITAM coupled receptors showing binding properties to various haptens（TNCB、DNCB、oxazolon、FITC). Among them, focusing on two Ig superfamily receptors (called IgR2, IgR5) that associate with DAP12 and recognize multiple haptens, we investigated their ability of ITAM signal activation by using receptor-expressing NFAT-GFP reporter cells. As a result, both IgR2 and IgR5 activated the ITAM signal by hapten stimulation . Therefore, these two were identified as hapten receptors.
