CD59 Antigens

CD59-antigener

Svensk definition

Små glykoproteiner på såväl hematopoetiska som icke-hematopoetiska celler. CD59 begränsar den cytolytiska verkan av homologt komplement genom att binda till C8 och C9 och blockera byggandet av membram -attackkomplexet.

Engelsk definition

Small glycoproteins found on both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. CD59 restricts the cytolytic activity of homologous complement by binding to C8 and C9 and blocking the assembly of the membrane attack complex. (From Barclay et al., The Leukocyte Antigen FactsBook, 1993, p234)
