Anti-CD55 (Complement Decay-accelerating Factor, GPI-anchored, DAF-GPI, Cd55a, Daf, Daf1)

CD55, also known as DAF (decay accelerating factor), is expressed on the surfaces of red blood cells, hematopoietic cells and many non-hemotopietic cells. There are two isoforms of mouse CD55, a GPI-anchored isofrom and a transmembrane isoform. Both are recognized by this monoclonal antibody. The function of CD55 is to protect damage by complement deposition. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested.
