3. Figure 1 LPS Is a Ligand for CD300b
(A–C) Sensorgrams of mCD300b-Fcγ (A), hCD300b-Fcγ (B), mCD300d-Fcγ, mCD300a-Fcγ, mCD300f-Fcγ, and NITR-Fcγ (C) protein binding to immobilized LPS (E. coli 0111:B4) over the indicated times. Binding was initiated at 60 s and the dissociation phase begun at 240 s and is expressed in resonance units (RU).
(D) Streptavidin pull-down assays determining the binding of mCD300b-Fcγ (2, 5, and 10 μg [lanes 2–4]) or 10 μg of mCD300d-Fcγ, mCD300f-Fcγ, or NITR-Fcγ proteins to biotin-conjugated LPS (2 μg). Bound protein was determined by immunoblotting using an anti-human IgG Fcγ-specific Ab. hIgG indicates human Ig heavy chain.
(E and F) mCD300b-, mCD300b-DAP12-, mCD300d-FcRγ-, mCD300f-, EV-expressing L929 cells were incubated with FITC-labeled LPS from E. coli or S. minnesota (10 μg/mL) for 1 hr at 37°C (E) or 4°C (F). Binding was analyzed by flow cytometry and expressed as mean fluorescence intensity (MFI).
(G) mCD300b-DAP12-expressing L929 cells were incubated with FITC-labeled LPS from E. coli (10 μg/mL) for 1 hr and mixed with increasing concentrations of unlabeled LPS from E. coli, S. minnesota, or the TLR2 ligand Zymosan A (negative control). Samples analyzed by flow cytometry and MFI values from reactions without unlabeled E. coli LPS were considered as the maximum binding level (0% inhibition).
Data in (A)–(D) are representative of three experiments. Error bars represent SEM (E–G); ∗∗p ≤ 0.01 and ∗∗∗p ≤ See also Figures S1 and S2.

CD300b-Expressing BMMs Increase the Severity of Lethal Endotoxemia by Altering the Levels of Cytokines Produced
(A) BMMs from WT or Cd300lb−/− mice were stimulated with 2 μg/mL of LPS for various lengths of time. Cytokine levels were assessed by flow cytometry. No differences in cytokine levels between diluent control-treated WT and Cd300lb−/− BMMs was observed (data not shown).
