Speaking of legumes, here is another data point on CD200:

ajp.amjpathol.org

In particular, The CD200-CD200R pathway plays a critical role in attenuating EAE and reducing inflammation-mediated damage in the CNS. Strategies that up-regulate the expression of CD200 in the CNS or molecules that ligate the CD200R may be relevant as neuroprotective strategies in multiple sclerosis.

The ALXN mAb blocks CD200/CD200R, which leads to enhancement of immune response, so this is the flip side of the story.
