CD59 antibody

Catalog No. ABIN94203

Product Details anti-CD59 Antibody

Target: CD59

Reactivity: Human, Mouse

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This CD59 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunoprecipitation (IP), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Specificity: The antibody MEM-43/5 reacts with well defined epitope (around L33) on CD59 (Protectin), a 18-20 kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored extracellular glycoprotein expressed on the surface of all hematopoietic cells, it is widely present on cells in all tissues. The MEM-43/5 does not compete with most other CD59 antibodies.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Mouse, Human

Background: CD59 Molecule,CD59 (protectin) is a small (18-20 kDa) GPI-anchored ubiquitously expressed inhibitor of the membrane attack complex (MAC). It is thus the key regulator that preserves the autologous cells from terminal effector mechanism of the complement cascade. CD59 associates with C5b-8 complex and thereby counteracts appropriate formation of cytolytic pore within the plasma membrane. CD59 is also an low-affinity ligand of human CD2 and causes T cell costimulation.,MACIF, MAC-IP, protectin, MIRL, HRF-20, HRF20, 1F5, MIN
