Association of Blood Group Antigen CD59 with Disease [PDF]
In 2014, the membrane-bound protein CD59 became a blood group antigen. CD59 has been known for decades as an inhibitor of the complement system, located on erythrocytes and on many other cell types.

Structural basis for membrane attack complex inhibition by CD59
CD59 protects human cells from damage by the MAC immune pore. The authors show how CD59 inhibits MAC, by deflecting pore-forming β-hairpins of complement proteins.

Cd59 and inflammation regulate Schwann cell development
Efficient neurotransmission is essential for organism survival and is enhanced by myelination. However, the genes that regulate myelin and myelinating glial cell development have not been fully characterized.

Molecular pathogenesis of human CD59 deficiency [PDF]
Objective To characterize all 4 mutations described for CD59 congenital deficiency. Methods The 4 mutations, p.Cys64Tyr, p.Asp24Val, p.Asp24Valfs*, and p.Ala16Alafs*, were described in 13 individuals with CD59 malfunction. All 13 presented with recurrent

Measurement of soluble CD59 in CSF in demyelinating disease: Evidence for an intrathecal source of soluble CD59 [PDF]
Background: CD59, a broadly expressed glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein, is the principal cell inhibitor of complement membrane attack on cells. In the demyelinating disorders, multiple sclerosis (MS) and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), elevated complement protein levels, including ...

The complement system is a part of the innate immune system that viruses need to face during infections. Many viruses incorporate cellular regulators of complement activation (RCA) to block complement pathways and our prior work has shown that ...
