CD55, also known as decay accelerating factor (DAF), is a 64-73kD GPI-anchored single chain glycoprotein that is expressed on all cells in contact with serum, including all hematopoietic cells and the vascular endothelium. A soluble form of CD55 is present in plasma and body fluids. CD55 is a member of the regulator of complement activity (RCA) family of proteins and is thought to play a role in the protection of cells from damage by autologous complement by preventing the amplification steps of the complement cascade. CD55 expression increases upon T cell activation and antibodies to CD55 are mitogenic in the presence of phorbol esters.1-5 Applications: Flow cytometry Immunohistochemistry (frozen sections) Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: 10ul/10e6 cells Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Store at -20C or colder. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
