Clonality: Monoclonal (MEM-118)

Host: Mouse

Reactivity: Human, Primates

Conjugate: Biotin

Catalog no.: ABIN94184

Additional Information

Alternative name: CD55

Immunogen: HPB-ALL human T cell line

Isotype: IgM

Clone: MEM-118

Description: CD55 (decay-accelerating factor, DAF) is a GPI-anchored membrane glycoprotein thatprotects autologous cells from classical and alternative pathway of complement cascade.Bidirectional interactions between CD55 and CD97 are involved in T cell regulation andCD55 can still regulate complement when bound to CD97. In tumours, besides protectionagains complement, CD55 promotes neoangiogenesis, tumorigenesis, invasiveness andevasion of apoptosis.

Specificity: The antibody MEM-118 recognizes an epitope in SCR4 domain of CD55 (Decayaccelerating factor, DAF), a 60-70 kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored singlechain glycoprotein. CD55 is widely expressed on hematopoietic and on manynon-hematopoietic cells, it is weakly present on NK cells.HLDA V, WS Code AS S016
