CD59 Antibody (1B4) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects CD59 in mouse and rat samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), and flow cytometry (FCM). CD59 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein predominantly located on the surface of various cell types, including leukocytes, vascular endothelial cells, and epithelial cells, as well as in the placenta. Strategic positioning on the cell membrane is crucial for CD59′s role in regulating the complement system, as CD59 prevents the formation of the membrane attack complex (MAC) that can lead to cell lysis. By binding to the C8 and C9 components of the MAC, CD59 effectively protects host cells from complement-mediated damage, which is particularly important during inflammatory responses. Additionally, CD59 is involved in signaling pathways that promote calcium release and activate lipid-raft associated signaling molecules, such as tyrosine kinases, further underscoring CD59′s significance in cellular communication and immune responses. The CD59 gene contains two p53-responsive domains, suggesting a potential link between CD59 expression and cellular defense mechanisms against complement-mediated damage, which may have implications for tumor cell susceptibility during chemotherapy. Anti-CD59 antibody (1B4) is an essential tool for researchers studying immune regulation and complement system interactions.
