Flow Cytometry - Anti-CD59 antibody [p282 (H19)] (AB79520)
Overlay histogram showing Jurkat cells stained with ab79520 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab79520, 0.5μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG2a [ICIGG2A] (ab91361, 1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive signal in Jurkat cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

Biological function summary
One important feature of CD59 is its role as a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein involved in safeguarding cells from complement-mediated damage. It does not exist within a larger complex but functions at the cell surface to inhibit the assembly of complement components C5b-9 which form the MAC. This ability to inhibit MAC is essential in maintaining self-tissue from unintended damage during immune responses.
Pathways
CD59 participates in the regulation of the complement cascade specifically within the terminal pathway. The complement system serves as a bridge between innate and adaptive immunity contributing to processes like opsonization and cell lysis. CD59's inhibitory action directly impacts pathways that utilize terminal components such as C5b. Effective CD59 function prevents excessive complement activation ensuring that an immune response does not damage host tissues. It links closely with other complement regulatory proteins like CD55 which also mitigate complement cascade activation.
