Integrin-associated protein (CD47) is a broadly expressed protein that costimulates T cells, facilitates leukocyte migration, and inhibits macrophage scavenger function. To determine the role of CD47 in regulating alloresponses, CD47(+/+) or CD47(-/-) T cells were infused into irradiated or nonconditioned major histocompatibility complex disparate recipients. Graft-versus-host disease lethality was markedly reduced with CD47(-/-) T cells. Donor CD47(-/-) T cells failed to engraft in immunodeficient allogeneic recipients. CD47(-/-) marrow was unable to reconstitute heavily irradiated allogeneic or congenic immune-deficient CD47(+/+) recipients. These data suggested that CD47(-/-) T cells and marrow cells were cleared by the innate immune system. To address this hypothesis, dye-labeled CD47(-/-) and CD47(+/+) lymphocytes or marrow cells were infused in vivo and clearance was followed. Dye-labeled CD47(-/-) cells were engulfed by splenic dendritic cells and macrophages resulting in the clearance of virtually all CD47(-/-) lymphohematopoietic cells within 1 day after infusion. Host phagocyte-depleted CD47(+/+) recipients partially accepted allogeneic CD47(-/-) T cells. Thus, dendritic cells and macrophages clear lymphohematopoietic cells that have downregulated CD47 density. CD47 expression may be a critical indicator for determining whether lymphohematopoietic cells will survive or be cleared.
