The Ly49 family of genes encode NK cell receptors that bind class I MHC Ags and transmit negative signals if the cytoplasmic domains have immunoregulatory tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs (ITIMs). 5E6 mAbs recognize Ly49C and Ly49I receptors and depletion of 5E6+ NK cells prevents rejection of allogeneic or parental-strain H2d bone marrow cell (BMC) grafts. To determine the function of the Ly49I gene in the rejection of BMC grafts, we transfected fertilized eggs of FVB mice with a vector containing DNA for B6 strain Ly49I (Ly49IB6). Ly49IB6 is ITIM+ and is recognized by 5E6 as well as Ly49I-specific 8H7 mAbs. Normal FVB H2q mice reject H2b but not H2d BMC allografts, and the rejection of H2b BMC was inhibited partially by anti-NK1.1 and completely by anti-asialo GM1, but not by anti-CD8, Abs. In FVB mice, NK1.1 is expressed on only 60% NK cells. FVB. Ly49IB6 hosts failed to reject H2d or H2b BMC, but did reject class I-deficient TAP-1-/- BMC, indicating that NK cells were functional. Nondepleting doses of anti-Ly49I Abs reversed the acceptance of H2b BMC by FVB.Ly49IB6 mice. FVB.Ly49IB6+/- mice were crossed and back-crossed with 129 mice-H2b, 5E6-, poor responders to H2d BMC grafts. While transgene-negative H2b/q F1 or first-generation back-crossed mice rejected H2b marrow grafts (hybrid resistance), transgene-positive mice did not. Thus B6 strain Ly49I receptors transmit inhibitory signals from H2b MHC class I molecules. Moreover, Ly49IB6 has no positive influence on the rejection of H2d allografts.
