There is 1 publication for this product available. The Mouse Monoclonal anti-CD55 antibody is suitable to detect CD55 in samples from Human and Non-Human Primate. It has been validated for WB, FACS, IP and IHC (p).
The antibody MEM-118 recognizes an epitope in SCR4 domain of CD55 (Decay accelerating factor, DAF), a 60-70 kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored single chain extracellular glycoprotein. CD55 is widely expressed on hematopoietic and on many non-hematopoietic cells, it is weakly present on NK cells.
Purification
Purified antibody is conjugated with biotin LC-NHS ester under optimum conditions and unconjugated antibody and free biotin are removed by size-exclusion chromatography.
CD55 Molecule (Cromer blood group),CD55 (decay-accelerating factor, DAF) is a GPI-anchored membrane glycoprotein that protects autologous cells from classical and alternative pathway of complement cascade. Bidirectional interactions between CD55 and CD97 are involved in T cell regulation and CD55 can still regulate complement when bound to CD97. In tumours, besides protection agains complement, CD55 promotes neoangiogenesis, tumorigenesis, invasiveness and evasion of apoptosis.,DAF, CROM, CHAPLE
