The complement regulatory proteins CD46 and CD59, but not CD55, are highly expressed by glandular epithelium of human breast and colorectal tumour tissues
1 Jul 1998
Abstract excerpt
Three of the proteins protecting cells from autologous lysis by complement are: membrane cofactor protein (MCP; CD46), an inhibitor of the membrane attack complex formation (CD59), and decay accelerating factor (DAF; CD55). We have investigated the expression of these proteins in breast and colorectal carcinoma by immunohistochemistry and immunoblotting of breast tissue for CD46. CD46 was consistently and...
