Immunohistochemistry

Immunofluorescence

Immunofluorescent staining of Jurkat cells with CD59 recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 193-27 (Cat # RAB03313).
Jurkat cells on Shi-fix™ coverslips stained with the chimeric r version of RAB03313 at 10 ug/ml for 1h followed by Alexa Fluor® 488 secondary antibody (2 ug/ml)- showing membrane staining. The nuclear stain is DAPI (blue). Panels show from left-right- top-bottom RAB03313- DAPI- merged channels and an isotype control. The isotype control was an unknown specificity antibody (3.0) followed by staining with Alexa Fluor® 488 secondary antibody.

Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometric analysis of Jurkat cells with CD59 recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 193-27 (Cat # RAB03313).
Jurkat cells were fixed using 2% PFA and stained with anti-unknown specificity antibody (3.0; isotype control- black line) or the r1 version of RAB03313 (blue line) at a dilution of 1:100 for 1h at RT. After washing- the bound antibody was detected using a goat anti-r AlexaFluor® 488 antibody at a dilution of 1:1000 and cells analyzed using a FACSCanto flow-cytometer.

Gene Summary

This gene encodes a cell surface glycoprotein that regulates complement-mediated cell lysis, and it is involved in lymphocyte signal transduction. This protein is a potent inhibitor of the complement membrane attack complex, whereby it binds complement C8 and/or C9 during the assembly of this complex, thereby inhibiting the incorporation of multiple copies of C9 into the complex, which is necessary for osmolytic pore formation. This protein also plays a role in signal transduction pathways in the activation of T cells. Mutations in this gene cause CD59 deficiency, a disease resulting in hemolytic anemia and thrombosis, and which causes cerebral infarction. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants, which encode the same protein, have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq
