A functional complement system and the potential for its activation are present in human amniotic fluid. We have recently demonstrated that CD59 antigen is present and functionally active on human amniotic epithelial cells (HAEC). We have now further examined the role of this protein on HAEC and have also demonstrated its presence in amniotic fluid (AF). CD59 Ag on HAEC is similar in size to the erythrocyte protein and is anchored via glycosyl phosphatidylinositol. The AF protein retained the capacity to incorporate into target cells and protect against lysis by complement. These data suggest that HAEC secrete into AF a form of CD59 Ag which retains inhibitory activity and which may be important in protection of the foetus from maternal complement in utero.
