Target: CD55 (Complement Decay-Accelerating Factor (CD55))

Alternative Name: Complement Decay Accelerating Factor

Background: The monoclonal antibody PD2 recognizes pig complement decay accelerating factor (DAF), also designated as CD55. Cells express on their surface several proteins which protect against complement attack, namely C receptor I (CR1), decay accelerating factor (DAF), membrane cofactor protein (MCP) and CD59. CR1, DAF and MCP regulate the activation pathways of complement by either accelerating decay of the C3 and C5 convertase (CR1, DAF), or acting as cofactors for the serine protease factor I, which cleaves and irreversibly inactivates C3b (CR1, MCP). Pig DAF (CD55) is a 45-52 kDa transmembrane protein that binds C3b and C4b to inhibit formation and half-life of the C3 convertases. DAF is broadly distributed among cells in contact with serum, including both haematopoietic and nonhaematopoietic cells. Although DAF does not have an essential role in controlling hemolysis of erythrocytes, it has an important role in regulation of the deposition of C3 on nucleated cells. Together with other complement regulators DAF protects self cells from autologous complement- mediated injury. DAF cooperates with CD46 in circumventing autologous C3 deposition, while CD59 inhibits the pathway at the critical end-point. Aliases DAF, CD55 Immunogen Pig DAF-Ig fusion protein
