Protectin (CD59) inhibits homologous complement-mediated cytolysis by preventing formation of the membrane attack complex at the point of insertion and polymerization of C9 into cell membranes. The present study investigated the expression and function of CD59 on human prostatic tumor cells in situ
Control of complement deposition on autologous cells is mediated by a group of complement regulatory membrane proteins acting at different levels of the complement cascade. Decay accelerating factor (CD55) prevents the assembly of C3 convertases and CD59 membrane inhibitor of reactive lysis (MIRL) r
