This antibody recognises CD59, a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchored membrane protein also known as membrane attack complex inhibition factor. CD59 blocks the formation of the complement membrane attack complex (MAC) by binding of C8a and C9. CD59 is found on all types of leucocytes including platelets and is also expressed on many non-haematopoietic cells. The epitope recognized by Mouse anti Human CD59 antibody, clone MEM-43 is lost after reduction therefore, non-reducing conditions are required for western blotting techniques.
