CD22, a sialic-acid binding immunoglobulin type-lectin (Siglec) family member, is an inhibitory co-receptor of the B-cell receptor (BCR) with established roles in health and disease. The restricted expression pattern of CD22 on B-cells and most B-cell lymphomas has made CD22 a therapeutic target for B-cell-mediated diseases. Models to better understand how in vivo targeting of CD22 translates to human disease are needed. Here, we report development of a transgenic mouse expressing human CD22 (hCD22) in B-cells and assess its ability to functionally substitute for murine CD22 (mCD22) for regulation of BCR signaling, antibody responses, homing, and tolerance. Expression of hCD22 on transgenic murine B-cells is comparable to expression on human primary B-cells, and co-localizes with mCD22 on the cell surface. Murine B-cells expressing only hCD22 have identical calcium (Ca2+) flux responses in response to anti-IgM as mCD22-expressing WT B-cells. Furthermore, hCD22 transgenic mice on a mCD22−/− background have restored levels of marginal zone B-cells and antibody responses compared to deficiencies observed in CD22−/− mice. Consistent with these observations, hCD22 transgenic mice develop normal humoral responses in a peanut allergy oral sensitization model. Homing of B-cells to Peyer’s patches (PP) was partially rescued by expression of hCD22 compared to CD22−/− B-cells, although not to WT levels. Notably, Siglec-engaging antigenic liposomes (STALs) formulated with a hCD22 ligand were shown to prevent B-cell activation, increase cell death, and induce tolerance in vivo. This hCD22 transgenic mouse will be a valuable model for investigating the function of hCD22 and pre-clinical studies targeting hCD22.
