Rabbit anti cd31

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United Kingdom, United States

Rabbit anti-CD31 is a primary antibody that recognizes the CD31 antigen, also known as platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1). CD31 is a transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on the surface of endothelial cells and is involved in cell-cell adhesion. This antibody can be used to detect and localize CD31 in various applications, such as immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry.

Specimens of the harvested livers and tumor tissues were fixed in 4 % formalin followed by embedding in paraffin. Tissue sections (4 μm) were subjected to histopathology (H&E staining), immunohistochemical (IHC) staining and in situ apoptosis detection by TUNEL assay. For IHC, after dewaxing, antigen retrieval and endogenous peroxidase blocking steps the sections were subjected to staining procedures with purified monoclonal anti-mouse CD11b (BD PharMingen, San Jose, CA); anti-mouse NK1.1 (Biolegend, San Diego, CA); and anti-rabbit CD31 (Abcam, Cambrige, MA) primary antibodies, respectively. Subsequently, biotinylated goat anti-mouse or anti-rabbit immunoglobulins as secondary antibodies and streptavidin peroxidase complex reagent were applied. The visualization signals were developed with diaminobenzidine (DAB) chromogen substrate (DAKO, Carpinteria, CA and the slides were counterstained with Meyer’s hematoxylin and dehydrated through a series of ethanol and xylenes. In addition, intratumor microvessel density was microscopically counted in absolute values as previously described [29 (link), 34 (link)]. Finally, for detection of in situ apoptosis in the tumor tissues, TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT)-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling) assay was performed according to the manufacturer’s protocol (Roche Molecular Biochemicals) as described previously [34 (link)].

Pieces of whole liver were homogenized using a tissue homogenizer (TissueRuptor, Qiagen, Germantown, MD), followed by centrifugation. Protein extraction from cells or whole liver was performed using lysis buffer complemented with protease inhibitor (Complete Lysis M kit, Roche Diagnostics, Indianapolis, IN) and phosphatase inhibitor (Halt Phosphatase Inhibitor Single-Use Cocktail, Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA).

Blots were developed with the ECL Detection System (Amersham, Pharmacia Biotech, Buckinghamshire, England). Densitometry of bands was performed with ImageJ software (rsbweb.nih.gov/ij, NIH, Bethesda, MD). Western blot membranes were incubated with the following primary antibodies: Rabbit anti-β-PDGFR (1:500) and anti-phospho-β-PDGFR (1:500) were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA, rabbit anti-CD31 (1:500), rabbit anti-Ki67 (1:2500), rabbit anti-Desmin (1:1000) and rabbit anti-Calnexin (1:3,000) were from Abcam, Cambridge, England).

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.
