A natural soluble form of CD21 that is cleaved from lymphocyte membrane CD21 circulates in normal human serum. Soluble CD21 retains the capacity to bind iC3b and CD23, the known ligands of membrane CD21. In a similar fashion to IgE complexes, another ligand of CD23, the soluble CD21 was shown to efficiently trigger CD23-signalling pathways in human monocytes.
CD21 mRNA expression, an EBV-entry receptor, was transiently detected in NK cells after exosome treatment, and levels decreased after further culture. CD21 protein expression was also transiently transferred to NK cells after co-culture with an EBV-positive Burkitt lymphoma cell line (Raji) via trogocytosis. However, EBV did not infect NK cells through CD21-mediated trogocytosis.
