Sheep red blood cells (SRBCs) have long been used as a model antigen for eliciting systemic immune responses, yet the basis for their adjuvant activity has been unknown. Here, we show that SRBCs failed to engage the inhibitory mouse SIRPa receptor on splenic CD4(+) dendritic cells (DCs), and this failure led to DC activation. Removal of the SIRPa ligand, CD47, from self-RBCs was sufficient to convert them into an adjuvant for adaptive immune responses. DC capture of Cd47(-/-)RBCs and DC activation occurred within minutes in a Src-family-kinase- and CD18-in-tegrin- dependent manner. These findings provide an explanation for the adjuvant mechanism of SRBCs and reveal that splenic DCs survey blood cells for missing self-CD47, a process that might contribute to detecting and mountingimmune responses against pathogen-infected RBCs.
