Tool Details

  • Tool name: Anti-CD55 [BU84]
  • Alternate names: Complement decay-accelerating factor 55; Dcay accelerating factor for complement; DAF
  • Clone: BU84
  • Tool type: Antibodies
  • Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
  • Class: Monoclonal
  • Conjugate: Unconjugated
  • Reactivity: Human
  • Host: Mouse
  • Application: IHC
  • Strain: Balb/c
  • Description: CD55 regulates the complement system on the cell surface. It recognizes C4b and C3b fragments that are created during classical complement pathway and alternative complement pathway activation and indirectly blocks the formation of the membrane attack complex. CD97 is a member of the epidermal growth factor-seven transmembrane family. It affects tumour aggressiveness by binding its cellular ligand CD55 and exhibits adhesive properties. Previous studies have shown that CD97 and CD55 are involved in the dedifferentiation, migration, invasiveness and metastasis of tumours.
