Anti vwf antibody

Manufactured by Merck Group

The Anti-vWF antibody is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and analysis of von Willebrand factor (vWF) in biological samples. Von Willebrand factor is a large glycoprotein involved in blood clotting and platelet adhesion. The Anti-vWF antibody can be utilized in various immunoassay techniques to quantify or characterize vWF levels and distribution in research and diagnostic applications.

Femoral Artery Histological Analysis

Femoral arteries were perfusion fixed using paraformaldehyde, and then carefully excised along with a block of the surrounding muscle to save neighbor vasculature in the connective tissues. Excised tissues were then carefully fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, embedded in the paraffin-block and serially sectioned. Cross-sections of the paraffin block were stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Von Willebrand Factor (vWF) for endothelium staining. In briefly, for antigen retrieval, treatment dewaxed slides were heated in sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0, abcam, Cambridge, MA) at 95 °C for 30 min in blocking solution of goat serum and incubated with the anti-vWF antibody (Millipore, Burlington, MA) at 4 °C overnight. Incubated slides were washed with PBS 3 times for 3 mins. The slides were incubated with Cy3-conjugated IgG (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, West Grove, PA) and counterstained with DAPI. The stained slides were observed by using a fluorescent microscope (IX-81, Olympus, Center Valley, PA). Brightness (+40%) and contrast (+40%) of acquired fluorescence images were adjusted to improve visibility by using ImageJ software43 (link).

Using a Leica Microtome RM2255 (Leica Biosystems, Buffalo Grove, IL), we made formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded 5 μm slices of left lungs, deparaffinized with CitriSolv (Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA), and then rehydrated with a series of gradient ethanol. Sections were boiled in antigen unmasking solution; blocked using 10% horse serum (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA); incubated overnight first with a mouse monoclonal α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) antibody, clone 1A4 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO), and then with peroxidase-conjugated anti-mouse/anti-rabbit secondary antibody (RTU Vectastatin Universal, Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA); and finally stained with peroxidase sensitive ImmPACT diaaminobenzidine substrate (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA). Similarly, the von-Willebrand factor (vWF) was stained with rabbit polyclonal anti-vWF antibody (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) and peroxidase sensitive ImmPACT VIP substrate (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA).32 (link) The nuclei were counterstained with methyl green (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA), and slides were viewed at 200× using the Olympus IX81 microscope (Olympus Scientific Solutions Americas Corp., Waltham, MA). ImageJ software analyzed the images, determined the degree of muscularization, and measured the medial wall thickness (MWT).

Capillary density was analyzed in the slice stained with anti-vWF antibody (1 : 200, Sigma). Cryosections were fixed with acetone for 30 minutes and endogenous peroxidase was quenched with 3% H2O2. After blocking with 2% normal goat serum, slices were incubated with the anti-vWF antibody at 4°C overnight. Then, FITC-conjugated IgG were incubated for 2 hours at room temperature before imaging under laser confocal microscope (FV1000, Olympus). The number of capillaries was calculated in five randomly chosen high magnification fields.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
