Detection of CD33 expression on monocyte surface is influenced by phagocytosis and temperature [PDF]
CD33 is a myeloid-associated marker and belongs to the sialic acid-binding immunoglobulin (Ig)-like lectin (Siglec) family. Such types of receptors are highly expressed in acute myeloid leukemia, which could be used in its treatment.

Colocalization of the Human CD59 Gene to 11p13 with the MIC11 Cell Surface Antigen
The human CD59 gene encodes a cell surface antigen detected by MEM43 and other antibodies. It has homology to the mouse Ly-6 genes that map on mouse chromosome 15 and are involved in lymphocyte signal transduction. CD59 may play a role in protecting against complement-mediated lysis. The human CD59 gene had been previously localized to 11p13-p14.

Provirus activation plus CD59 blockage triggers antibody-dependent complement-mediated lysis of latently HIV-1-infected cells [PDF]
Latently HIV-1-infected cells are recognized as the last barrier toward viral eradication and cure. To purge these cells, we combined a provirus stimulant with a blocker of human CD59, a key member of the regulators of complement activation, to trigger ...

Functional and antigenic similarities between a 94-kD protein of Schistosoma mansoni (SCIP-1) and human CD59. [PDF]
Schistosomiasis is a parasitic disease affecting approximately 200 million people, primarily in the third world. Schistosoma mansoni, one of the causative agents of this disease, parasitize the human mesenteric and portal blood systems while successfully evading host immune responses.

Induction of ebolavirus cross-species immunity using retrovirus-like particles bearing the Ebola virus glycoprotein lacking the mucin-like domain [PDF]
Background The genus Ebolavirus includes five distinct viruses. Four of these viruses cause hemorrhagic fever in humans. Currently there are no licensed vaccines for any of them; however, several vaccines are under development.

Modelling bispecific monoclonal antibody interaction with two cell membrane targets indicates the importance of surface diffusion [PDF]
We have developed a mathematical framework for describing a bispecific monoclonal antibody interaction with two independent membrane-bound targets that are expressed on the same cell surface.

Structure of the CD59-encoding gene: further evidence of a relationship to murine lymphocyte antigen Ly-6 protein. [PDF]
The gene for CD59 [membrane inhibitor of reactive lysis (MIRL), protectin], a phosphatidylinositol-linked surface glycoprotein that regulates the formation of the polymeric C9 complex of complement and that is deficient on the abnormal hematopoietic cells of patients with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, consists of four exons spanning 20 kilobases.

SUMMARYProtectin (CDS9 antigen) is a 20-kD phosphatidyl-inositol-linked membrane protein that inhibits formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC) of complement on homologous cells. Although the antigen has been identified in a number of human tissues, until recently a functional role had been demonstrated only in circulating cells.
