Distribution of protectin (CD59), a complement membrane attack inhibitor, in normal human tissues.
Protectin (CD59) is a recently discovered 18-20 kDa glycoprotein that effectively inhibits lysis by the membrane attack complex of the homologous complement system. This glycoprotein is widely distributed on the membranes of human blood cells (erythrocytes and leukocytes). By using immunofluorescenc...
