Normal role description: CD200 is an immunosuppressive molecule. It antagonizes inflammation, autoimmunity and adaptive immune responses. It suppreses interferon gamma induced proliferation, actiavtion and secrtion of nitrous oxide and various cytokines such as IL5, IL13 and IL6. Expression is correlated with increase metastasis and poor prognosis in cancer patients. Expression in cancer stem cells allows for evasion of host immune response.
