CD55 polyclonal, anti-human

Background:
CD55, also called decay accelerating factor (DAF), is a GPI-anchored single chain glycoprotein. CD55 may play a role in protecting cells from complement-mediated lysis by preventing the amplification steps of the complement cascade. CD55 functions to prevent the assembly of C3 convertase or to accelerate the disassembly of preformed convertase, which blocks formation of the membrane attack complex. CD55 is expressed on cells in contact with serum, including hematopoietic and many non-hematopoietic cells.
