Multiparameter Flow Cytometric Analysis of CD59 Expression on Human Leucocytes    Left Panel: CD59 expression on different leucocyte populations. Whole blood was stained with either Alexa Fluor™ 647 Mouse IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 565357; Top Plot) or Alexa Fluor™ 647 Mouse Anti-Human CD59 antibody (Cat. No. 568270; Bottom Plot Plot). Erythrocytes were lysed with BD Pharm Lyse™ Lysing Buffer (Cat. No. 555899). The pseudocolor density plot showing the correlated expression of CD59 [or Ig isotype control] versus side light-scatter signals (SSC) was derived from gated events with the forward and side-light scatter characteristics of viable leucocyte populations.    Right Panel: CD59 expression on different lymphocyte subpopulations. Whole blood was similarly stained with BD Horizon™ BUV395 Mouse Anti-Human CD3 (Cat. No. 563546/563548) and PE Mouse Anti-Human NCAM-1 (CD56) (Cat. No. 563238) antibodies and with either Alexa Fluor™ 647 Mouse IgG2a, κ Isotype Control (Top Plots) or Alexa Fluor™ 647 Mouse Anti-Human CD59 antibody (Bottom Plots). Erythrocytes were similarly lysed. The pseudocolor density plots showing the correlated expression of  CD59 [or Ig isotype control] versus CD3 (Left Plots) or versus CD56 (Right Plots) were derived from gated events with the forward and side light-scatter characteristics of viable lymphocytes.    Flow cytometry and data analysis were performed using a LSRFortessa™ X-20 Cell Analyzer System and FlowJo® software.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to the dye under optimum conditions and unreacted dye was removed.

Recommended Assay Procedures

BD® CompBeads can be used as surrogates to assess fluorescence spillover (Compensation).  When fluorochrome conjugated antibodies are bound to CompBeads, they have spectral properties very similar to cells.   However, for some fluorochromes there can be small differences in spectral emissions compared to cells, resulting in spillover values that differ when compared to biological controls.  It is strongly recommended that when using a reagent for the first time, users compare the spillover on cells and CompBead to ensure that BD® CompBeads are appropriate for your specific cellular application.

MEM-43

The MEM-43 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD59 which is also known as the MEM43 antigen (MEM43). This 19 kDa glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored glycoprotein is expressed on all hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells.  Because of its interaction with activated complement products, CD59 has been termed Membrane Attack Complex Inhibition Factor (MACIF), Homologus Restriction Factor (HRF20), Membrane Inhibitor of Reactive Lysis (MIRL), and Protectin. CD59 inhibits complement-mediated cellular lysis by binding to C8 and C9, thereby blocking the final assembly of the complement Membrane Attack Complex (MAC). CD59 also participates in spontaneous T-cell/erythrocyte adhesion, interacts with CD2, and plays a role in T-cell activation.

Alexa Fluor™ 647
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor™ 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 670-nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
