The B-cell antigen CD22 mediates monocyte and erythrocyte adhesion.

Interaction with antigen-presenting accessory cells is thought to be an important step in B-cell activation, and the B-cell receptor CD22, which is coordinately expressed with surface immunoglobulin, has been proposed to participate in the antigen response. Here we show that CD22 has a structure closely related to myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG, a neuronal adhesion protein), and mediates monocyte and erythrocyte adhesion. Like CD2, the T-cell erythrocyte receptor, CD22 may facilitate antigen recognition by promoting antigen-nonspecific contacts with accessory cells.[1]
