This antibody recognises the CD55 antigen, a ~70 kDa glycoprotein also known as Decay Accelerating Factor (DAF). CD55 is distributed on erythrocytes and other circulating blood cells and also on cells in non-haemopoietic tissue particularly epithelium and endothelium. CD55 is also expressed at the foetal-maternal interfaces in placenta.CD55 has reduced expression on individuals with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria. recognises the consensus region 3 of the DAF molecule, which contains the functional site, and the antibody blocks the function of DAF.
