MeSH definition : Small glycoproteins found on both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells. CD59
restricts the cytolytic activity of homologous complement by binding to C8 and C9
and blocking the assembly of the membrane attack complex. (From Barclay et al., The
Leukocyte Antigen FactsBook, 1993, p234);
MeSH annotation : note entry term PROTECTIN; do not confuse with protectins, which are n-3PUFA-derived
anti-inflammatory mediators; the SCR term protectin D1 is also available;
