	Description	Clone JS11 recognizes the CD55 antigen, a 70 kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored single chain glycoprotein, which is also known as complement decay-accelerating factor (DAF). CD55 is broadly distributed among hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. It is expressed on the plasma membranes of all cell types that are in intimate contact with serum and on the surfaces of epithelial cells lining the extracellular compartments. Variants of the molecule are present in body fluids and in extracellular matrix. CD55 plays multiple physiologic roles including tissue protection from the cytotoxic complement injury, anti-inflammatory function owing to its anti-adherence properties which enhance transmigration of monocytes and macrophages and reduce tissue injury. CD55 plays an essential role during pregnancy and is involved in the protection of the semiallogeneic fetus and in preventing uncontrolled infiltration by white cells. It is exploited in multiple pathologic conditions by pathogens and viruses in chronic tissue infection processes.

	CD55	This gene encodes a glycoprotein involved in the regulation of the complement cascade. Binding of the encoded protein to complement proteins accelerates their decay, thereby disrupting the cascade and preventing damage to host cells. Antigens present on this protein constitute the Cromer blood group system (CROM). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. The predominant transcript variant encodes a membrane-bound protein, but alternatively spliced transcripts may produce soluble proteins. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
	FITC	Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) has an excitation peak at 495 nm and an emission peak at 519 nm. The name FITC is a misnomer in that the isothiocyanate is a reactive form of this dye. Once FITC is conjugated to an antibody, it is simply Fluorescein conjugated. FITC is one of the most widely used dyes for fluorescent applications, therefore most instruments come standard with a 488 nm laser and FITC filter set up. FITC is commonly conjugated to secondary antibodies and used in applications such as flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry. FITC is relatively dim, sensitive to photobleaching and it is susceptible to changes is pH. There are better performing alternatives to FITC, like Vio®Bright 515, Alexa Fluor™ 488, iFluor® 488, CF®488A and DY-488. FITC is a long-time generic dye with no sole manufacturer or trademark.
