K562 cells transduced with a genome-wide activation library were stained with a pool of three HLA tetramers (HLA-A∗02:01-NLVP, HLA-B∗07:02-TPRV, and HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG), and enriched gRNAs in stained cells were identified using NGS. (B) SigmaFC scores of genes from two replicate screens. SigmaFC scores were calculated using PinAplPy, and top hits are annotated. (C) K562 cells stably expressing dCas9 and transduced with a gRNA upregulating CD55 or a control guide were stained with the HLA-A, -B, -C, or tetramers as in (A) or with HLA-E∗01:01-VMAP tetramers and analyzed by flow cytometry.

    Interaction of CD55 with HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG tetramers is allotype and peptide specific (A) HEK293T cells were transfected with a plasmid containing GFP and a truncation mutant of CD55 and analyzed by flow cytometry. GFP+ positive cells were analyzed for staining with HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG. Each mutant removes an additional SCR domain from CD55. Data are represented as mean ± SD. (B) HeLa cells were stained with HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG tetramers after pre-incubation with CD55 blocking antibodies targeting different SCR domains on CD55 and analyzed by flow cytometry. (C) HeLa cells were stained with either HLA-C∗07:01 or HLA-C∗07:02 tetramers loaded with the VRIG peptide and analyzed by flow cytometry. (D) HeLa cells were stained with HLA-C∗07:01 tetramers loaded with different alanine mutants of the VRIGHLYIL peptide and analyzed by flow cytometry. (E) CD55-Fc was immobilized on a Prot-G chip for SPR data using HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG tetramers as analyte to determine interaction on and off rates and K D . Response units were measured with increasing concentrations of HLA-C∗07:01-VRIG tetramers. All data represent at least three independent experiments, except (E), which represents a biological duplicate. FL, full length. Related to <xref ref-type=Figure S2 , Tables S2 and .

(F) C5a levels in wild-type C57BL/6 (WT) and CD55 KO mice. Four days postinfection, C5a levels were measured by ELISA using serum from infected WT or infected CD55 KO mice. Serum from uninfected mice was used for comparison. All sera were used at a 1:1,000 dilution. Each data point represents the result for an individual animal in the corresponding group. The bars represent mean values ± SD, and P values were determined by the Student t test.

    Article Snippet: The binding of B. crocidurae to human CD55-Fc was measured using an anti-human CD55 mouse monoclonal antibody (MAB2009; R&D systems) and a goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) Alexa Fluor 488- conjugated secondary antibody (ThermoFisher Scientific) (1:1,000).

    Gene expression analysis by RNA sequencing reveals key genetic signatures following B. crocidurae infection. (A) Transcriptome analysis was done with WT (C57BL/6) or CD55 KO mice to assess genetic signatures following relapsing fever infection. Mice were infected with 10 5 B. crocidurae spirochetes, and blood was collected at 2 dpi. The results for CD55 KO and C57BL/6 WT mice were compared. (B) Principal-component analysis (PCA) of transcriptome data from murine whole-blood samples. Each dot represents the data for one mouse. KOIN, B. crocidurae -infected CD55 KO mice; WTIN, B. crocidurae -infected C57BL/6 WT mice. (C) Differentially expressed genes. The x axis shows the log 2 -transformed fold changes in CD55 KO mice relative to the expression levels in WT mice at 2 days postinfection with B. crocidurae . (D) Heat map of the expression of selected genes in KOIN and WTIN. (E) Signaling pathways involved in the response to B. crocidurae infection in KOIN and WTIN were identified by KEGG pathway enrichment analysis. The key immune pathways enriched included T cell receptor and B cell receptor signaling, natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity, NF-κB signaling, antigen processing and presentation, and primary immunodeficiency. (F) B. crocidurae -specific IgM levels in uninfected wild-type C57BL/6 (WT) and CD55 KO mice were compared with those in the infected animals at two time points (12 days and 21 days postinfection). Whole-cell lysate of B. crocidurae was used to coat the wells of a microtiter plate, and serum from uninfected WT, infected WT, uninfected CD55 KO, or infected CD55 KO mice was used at a 1:200 dilution. The binding was measured using a secondary HRP-conjugated anti-mouse IgM. Each data point represents the result for an individual animal in the corresponding group. The bars represent mean values ± SD, and P values were determined using the Student t test.
