Isolating Human Islets of Langerhans Causes Loss of Decay Accelerating Factor (CD55) on β-Cells

It has previously been reported that human decay accelerating factor (DAF; CD55) is not expressed on cells isolated from human islets. We have investigated if this absence is caused by the islet isolation procedure and/or the single cell isolation technique. We focused on loss of DAF expression on β...
