Abstract excerpt
Decay-accelerating factor (DAF, CD55) is a GPI-anchored membrane protein that regulates complement activation on autologous cells. In addition to protecting host tissues from complement attack, DAF has been shown to inhibit CD4+ T cell immunity in the setting of model Ag immunization. However, whether DAF regulates natural T cell immune response during pathogenic infection is not known. We describe in this study...
