Goat anti cd31

Manufactured by R&D Systems
Sourced in United States

Goat anti-CD31 is a primary antibody that binds to the CD31 antigen, also known as PECAM-1 (Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule). CD31 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the surface of endothelial cells, platelets, monocytes, and some T cell subsets. This antibody can be used for the identification and quantification of cells expressing CD31 in various applications such as flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry, and Western blotting.

After dewaxing in xylene and rehydration in an alcohol series, the sections were boiled in citrate buffer (pH 6) in a pressure cooker for 3 minutes for antigen retrieval, followed by incubation in 0.6% H2O2 to inactivate endogenous peroxidase activity. For BrdU detection, the tissue was additionally pre-treated with 2 N HCl followed by borate buffer (pH 8.5). Sections were then incubated with primary antibodies in blocking buffer (TBS containing 0.1% Triton X-100 and 3% donkey serum) either overnight at +4 °C or for 1 hour at room temperature. The antibodies used were as follows: anti-mouse BrdU (1:500 dilution; DAKO); anti-rabbit Ki-67 (1:150; Merck Millipore); goat anti-CD31 (1:150; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), and anti-rabbit Iba1 (1:2000; Wako Industries). This was followed by the addition of the appropriate biotinylated secondary antibody (1:250; Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA). After incubation with avidin-biotin solution (Vectastain ABC Elite kit; Vector Laboratories), the antigen was visualised by developing in DAB (Saveen Werner AB, Malmö, Sweden). The sections were then dehydrated in an alcohol series, cleared in xylene, and cover-slipped in Xtra-kitt mounting medium (Medite GmbH, Burgdorf, Germany). The human biopsy samples were treated in a similar way.

Perfused fixed brains were cryopreserved in 25% sucrose and then embedded in OCT and serial cryosectioned. Infarct volume (mm3) was assessed by the Cavalieri Estimator probe using the StereoInvestigator software (MicroBrightField, Williston, VT, USA), as previously described. Briefly, six serial coronal sections, cut at 30 μm, were stained using a 0.2% Cresyl violet solution (Electron Microscopy Science, Hatfield, PA) or anti-mouse IgG-488 (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA). The total volume of infarct was quantified by estimating the area of tissue loss in the ipsilateral cortical hemisphere using six, serial coronal sections. A 100 μm spaced grid was placed over the ipsilateral hemisphere in the Cavalieri probe and infarcted area scored. The coronal sections were used for immunohistochemical (IHC) staining of CD31. Sections were blocked with 2% cold water fish skin gelatin (Sigma, Inc., St. Louis, MO) in 0.2% Triton-X100, incubated with goat anti-CD31 (1 : 100, R&D systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA) overnight at room temperature (RT), washed with 1X PBS, and then incubated with donkey anti-goat 488 (1 : 250, Thermofisher, USA) for 1 hour at RT. Slides were then mounted with DAPI counterstain (SouthernBiotech, Birmingham, AL), and images were acquired using Olympus fluorescence microscope. Microvessel diameters were measured using ImageJ.

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.
