CD55/DAF Antibody (LU30) - Chimeric - Azide and BSA Free

Immunohistochemistry: CD55/DAF Antibody (LU30) - Chimeric [NBP2-62562] - Immunohistochemical staining of human lung tissue using anti-CD55 antibody. LU30 Anti-CD55 (Complement decay-accelerating factor)staining of paraffin embedded human lung tissue using the rabbit-chimeric version of LU30 (NBP2-62562). Antigen retreival was acheived by microwaving in citrate buffer (pH6), followed by blocking with protein block serum-free buffer. Primary antibody incubation with NBP2-62562 was carried out at 4 ug/ml for 30 minutes. Samples were then incubated with an anti-rabbit IgG HRP secondary antibody for 20 mins followed by DAB (3,3'-diaminobenzidine), and counter staining with haematoxylin. Strong staining of the epithelial surface of alveoli may be observed. Recommended concentration, 2-4 ug/ml.

Flow Cytometry: CD55/DAF Antibody (LU30) - Chimeric [NBP2-62562] - Flow-cytometry using the anti-CD55 (Complement decay-accelerating factor) antibody LU-30. U93 cells were stained with unimmunized rabbit IgG antibody (black line) or the rabbit-chimeric version of LU-30 (NBP2-62562, blue line) at a concentration of 10 ug/ml for 30 mins at RT. After washing, bound antibody was detected using an anti-rabbit IgG JK (FITC-conjugate) antibody at 2 ug/ml and cells analyzed on a FACSCanto flow-cytometer.

Background

CD55 encodes a protein involved in the regulation of the complement cascade. The encoded glycoprotein is also known as the decay-accelerating factor (DAF); binding of DAF to complement proteins accelerates their decay, disrupting the cascade and preventing damage to host cells. Antigens present on the DAF glycoprotein constitute the Cromer blood group system (CROM). Two alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different proteins have been identified. The predominant transcript encodes a membrane-bound protein expressed on cells exposed to plasma component proteins but an alternatively spliced transcript produces a soluble protein present at much lower levels. Additional, alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq]
