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. In paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH), a stem cell clone with acquired deficiency to express GPI-anchored molecules, including the complement ...

Expression of the DAF (CD55) and CD59 antigens during normal hematopoietic cell differentiation
Abstract Expression of decay-accelerating factor (DAF or CD55) and of CD59 during hematopoietic cell development in normal bone marrow and on peripheral blood leukocytes were characterized by three-color immunofluorescence experiments.

Six monoclonal antibodies to the CD59 antigen [PDF]
Abstract CD59 defines an N -glycosylated glycoprotein expressed on various hemopoietic cells. It is anchored to the cell membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage and restricts the action of homologous complement.

A new blood group antigen is defined by anti‐
BackgroundCD59 is a cell surface glycoprotein of approximately 20 kDa limiting the lytic activity of the terminal complement complex C5b‐9. Although CD59 is known as a red blood cell (RBC) antigen defined by monoclonal antibodies, it so far has not been identified as a blood group antigen, since the description of a human alloantibody was missing.

Early and extensive CD55 loss from red blood cells supports a causal role in malarial anaemia. [PDF]
BACKGROUND\ud \ud Levels of complement regulatory proteins (CrP) on the surface of red blood cells (RBC) decrease during severe malarial anaemia and as part of cell ageing process.

Endothelial cells as targets for antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes [PDF]
BACKGROUND: In this study we have examined human vascular endothelial cells as targets for antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Vascular endothelial cells (EC) act as the major interface between blood and tissues and are crucial for the ...

Antigen‐presenting cell exosomes are protected from complement‐mediated lysis by expression of CD55 and CD59 [PDF]
AbstractExosomes are secreted nanometer‐sized vesicles derived from antigen‐presenting cells, which have attracted recent interest as they likely play important roles in immune regulation, and their use as cell‐free tools for immunotherapy has been proposed.
