Anti cd31 antibody

Manufactured by BD
Sourced in United States, France

The Anti-CD31 antibody is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and analysis of the CD31 protein, also known as Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (PECAM-1). CD31 is expressed on the surface of endothelial cells, platelets, and certain leukocytes. The Anti-CD31 antibody can be utilized in various immunological techniques, such as flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry, to identify and study cells expressing the CD31 marker.

For mouse microglia immunostaining, eyes were enucleated and fixed in paraformaldehyde 4% for 1 hour. Subsequently, retinas and choroids were isolated, permeabilized, blocked and incubated with anti-Iba1 antibody (1/1000 dilution) (Abcam Ab178846) overnight, at room temperature. The next day, samples were washed, incubated with secondary antibody (1/200 dilution) (goat anti-rabbit AlexaFluor 595, Invitrogen A11012, USA) for 2 hours and washed again. Retinas and choroids were flat-mounted with Fluoromount-G (SouthernBiotech, The Netherlands) on glass-slides for microscopy imaging.

Aortic Ring Assay for Angiogenesis

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate the angiogenic potential of WT and EVL−/− mice, the aortic ring assay was performed as described previously (Zippel et al, 2016). Briefly, aortas were dissected from mice, cleaned, cut into 1 mm rings, and embedded in collagen drops in a 48‐well plate. The rings were cultivated in microvascular endothelial cell growth medium (PeloBiotech) containing 10 mM l‐glutamine and 2% autologous serum, which was obtained from the same animals and pooled from WT and EVL−/−. The stimulation was done with 30 ng/ml murine VEGF (PeproTech, #450‐32). After 5 days, the rings were fixed with 4% PFA, immunostained with an anti‐CD31 antibody (BD Pharmingen, #550274) and analyzed using confocal microscopy (Leica, SP8).

Quantifying Capillary Density in Wound Healing

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Capillary density in the healing wounds was quantified by immunohistological analysis. Sections were deparaffinized and hydrated, then placed in Tris-Buffered Saline (pH 7.5) for 5 minutes for pH adjustment. Endogenous peroxidase was blocked by 3% hydrogen peroxide/methanol bath for 20 minutes, followed by distilled water rinses. Slides were blocked with normal rabbit serum (Vector Laboratories) for 30 minutes, then incubated for 60 minutes at room temperature with an anti-CD31 antibody (1:50; BD Bioscience) and Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF, abcam). Slides were counterstained with Gill 2 Hematoxylin for 10 seconds, differentiated in 1% aqueous glacial acetic acid, and rinsed in running tap water. Twenty random microscopic fields (×200 magnification) were counted to determine the number of capillaries per wound.

Frozen sections of tumor and normal tissues were subjected to immunofluorescence staining. Anti-CD68 antibody (Biorad, CA) and anti-CD163 antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., CA) were used to identify macrophages. Anti-CD31 antibody (BD Bioscience, NJ) was used to identify endothelial cells in tumor blood vessels, and anti-Ki67 antibody (eBioscience, CA) was used to label proliferating cells. Alexa-Fluor 488 or Alexa-Fluor 555-labeled secondary antibodies (Invitrogen, CA) were used to visualize biomarker positive cells.

Frozen tissue sections (6–8 μm thick) of tumors were fixed in cold acetone (4°C) for 10 minutes [13] (link), [20] (link) and processed for immunoflourescent staining. Topro-3 nuclear staining (Life Technologies) was used in conjunction with all immunoflourescent staining to visualize cell nuclei. To evaluate apoptosis and tumor angiogenesis at the border-zone between tumor tissue and surrounding tissue (peri-tumor), sections were triple stained with ApopTag Fluorescein In Situ Apoptosis TUNEL Kit (Millipore, Billerica, MA) anti-CD31 antibody (BD Pharmingen, San Jose, CA) along with Alexa Fluor 555 goat anti-rat secondary (Life Technologies) and Topro-3. The peri-tumoral and tumor area were identified by H&E staining of adjacent sections.

All mice were euthanized at post-operative day 14. Ischemic and non-ischemic gastrocnemius muscles were gathered and weighed, fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Muscle sections (5-μm) were dyed with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) to examine myocyte morphology. For immunofluorescence assay, tissue sections were stained using anti-CD31 antibody (BD Biosciences, Franklin Lakes, NJ, United States). 10 randomly selected fields from five independent sections in each animal (×400 magnification) were counted, and the vessel density was expressed as number of capillaries/field. To determine local oxidative stress levels, anti-nitrotyrosine antibody (Upstate, Lake Placid, NY, United States) was used. Intensities of fluorescence were measured and analyzed using Image Pro Plus software.

Tumor Tissue Histological Analysis

Tumor tissues were harvested at the end of experiment and tissues were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) overnight, embedded in paraffin, sliced into 5 μm sections and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) for histological examination. Tumor tissues were OTC- embedded and sliced into 8μm sections. Frozen tumor sections were fixed in 4% PFA 30-60min, washed with PBS and incubated with 0.5%TritonX-100 to eliminate endogenous peroxidase activity. Then cryosections were blocked with the BSA (5%) and were stained with an anti-CD31 antibody (BD, USA) diluted to 1:400. The TUNEL assays were performed according to the manufacturer’s instructions (Beyotime, china) [17 (link),18 (link)].

The muscle tissues were then blocked with 1% BSA/PBST (5% normal goat serum) for 1 h at room temperature. The tissues were incubated with rocking overnight at 4 °C with anti-CD31 antibody (1:100 dilution, BD Biosciences, 550274). Next day, tissues were washed overnight in PBS at 4 °C, followed by anti-rat IgG-Alexa 647 conjugate (1:500) at 4 °C for overnight.

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.
