Western Blot (WB)

(Western Blot analysis in Hela cell line lysates (35ug/lane) using MBS6000983. This demonstrates that MBS6000983 detected the CD55 protein (arrow).)

Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

(Immunohistochemistry analysis in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded human lung adenocarcinoma using MBS6000983 followed by peroxidase conjugation of the secondary antibody and DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of MBS6000983 for immunohistochemistry.)

Immunofluorescence (IF)

(Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of Hela cell using MBS6000983 followed by Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit lgG (green). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclear (blue).)

Flow Cytometry (FC/FACS)

(Flow Cytometric analysis of Hela cells (right histogram) using MBS6000983 compared to a negative control cell (left histogram). FITC-conjugated goat-anti-rabbit secondary antibodies were used for the analysis.)

Related Product Information for anti-CD55 antibody

This gene encodes a protein involved in the regulation of the complement cascade. The encoded glycoprotein is also known as the decay-accelerating factor (DAF); binding of DAF to complement proteins accelerates their decay, disrupting the cascade and preventing damage to host cells. Antigens present on the DAF glycoprotein constitute the Cromer blood group system (CROM). Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different proteins have been identified. The predominant transcript encodes a membrane-bound protein expressed on cells exposed to plasma component proteins but an alternatively spliced transcript produces a soluble protein present at much lower levels. Additional, alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq].

Uniprot Description

CD55: This protein recognizes C4b and C3b fragments that condense with cell-surface hydroxyl or amino groups when nascent C4b and C3b are locally generated during C4 and c3 activation. Interaction of daf with cell-associated C4b and C3b polypeptides interferes with their ability to catalyze the conversion of C2 and factor B to enzymatically active C2a and Bb and thereby prevents the formation of C4b2a and C3bBb, the amplification convertases of the complement cascade. Belongs to the receptors of complement activation (RCA) family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
