Rabbit anti human cd31

Manufactured by Santa Cruz Biotechnology
Sourced in United States

Rabbit anti-human CD31 is a primary antibody that recognizes the human CD31 (also known as PECAM-1) protein. CD31 is a cell adhesion molecule expressed on the surface of endothelial cells, platelets, and some immune cells. This antibody can be used for the detection and study of CD31 in various applications, such as immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry.

The sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated. Endogenous peroxidase was inactivated with 10% hydrogen peroxide for 10 minutes. The antigens were retrieved by pepsin for 10 minutes at 37°C. The sections were blocked for 30 minutes in 10% normal goat serum (Jackson ImmunoResearch Inc., West Grove, PA, USA), followed by incubation with mouse anti-α smooth muscle actin (1 : 500; Sigma-Aldrich) and rabbit anti-human CD31 (1 : 50; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) for 1 hour at room temperature. After washing, the slides were treated with secondary antibodies including Alexa 488-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (1 : 1000; Invitrogen) and Alexa 594-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1 : 1000; Invitrogen) for 1 hour at room temperature. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich). The slides were observed using a confocal laser scanning microscope (Fluoview FV 300, Olympus, Japan).

Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were grown in 8-well chamber slides (Ibidi, USA) for 3 days prior to incubat with 20 μg/ml of anti-NS1 mAbs or irrelevant anti-E mAb (4G2) for 1 h on ice. Rabbit anti-human CD31 or anti-PECAM-1 (1:10 dilution, Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA) was used as positive control of endothelial cell surface staining11 (link),13 (link). After washing three times with DMEM containing 2% FBS, cells were incubated for 30 min on ice with goat anti-mouse IgG or anti-rabbit IgG conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488 (1:500 dilution, Thermo Fisher Scientific) and Hoechst 33,342 (1:1000 dilution, Thermo Fisher Scientific) for staining of nuclei. Stained cells were visualized and imaged with a Carl Zeiss LSM800 with Airyscan confocal microscope. The fluorescence intensity of staining (Alexa Fluor 488) on the cell surface for each clone was determined using Zeiss microscopy Zen imaging software. The fluorescence intensity of the specific protein signal was normalized by nuclear staining intensity from the entire area of each captured image.

For immunofluorescent staining, 5-μm-thick sections were deparaffinized in histoclear (National Diagnostics, Somerville, USA) and rehydrated through a series of graded alcohols and distilled water. Endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with 10% hydrogen peroxide for 10 min, and antigen retrieval was carried out by pepsin for 10 min at 37°C. The sections were blocked for 30 min in 10% normal goat serum and incubated with primary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. The following primary antibodies were used: rabbit anti-human CD31 (1:50; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and mouse anti-α-smooth muscle actin (1:500; Sigma-Aldrich). Secondary antibody incubations were carried out for 1 h at room temperature using Alexa 488-conjugated goat-anti rabbit IgG (1:700; Invitrogen) and Alexa 594-conjugated goat-anti mouse IgG (1:700; Invitrogen) antibodies. All the fluorescent-stained sections were counterstained with DAPI (Sigma-Aldrich). Slides were observed using a confocal laser scanning microscope (Fluoview FV 300, Olympus, Japan).

Antigens from 5 µm paraffin sections were retrieved by incubation for 10 min at 100°C with 1 mM EDTA, pH 8.0 for CD31 staining, or by incubation for 20 min at 100°C in 0.01 M sodium citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for all other antigens. The sections were blocked with 2% bovine serum albumin (fraction V, MP Biomedicals, Solon, OH) in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and incubated overnight at 4°C with 2 ug/ml rabbit anti-human CD31 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), or sheep anti-human matriptase (R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), primary antibodies. Bound antibodies were visualized using biotin-conjugated anti-rabbit, or -sheep secondary antibodies (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) and a Vectastain ABC kit (Vector Laboratories) using 3,3′-diaminobenzidine as the substrate (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO). All microscopic images were acquired on an Olympus BX40 microscope using an Olympus DP70 digital camera system (Olympus, Melville, NY).

Quantifying Vascularization in Tissue Scaffolds

The formalin fixed samples were paraffin embedded and sectioned (5 μm thickness). The tissue orientation resulted in a radial cross section of the scaffold allowing for clear identification of the biomaterial-tissue interface. Sections were stained for hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson’s trichrome for examination of tissue structure and inflammation. Immunostains for CD31 were performed to identify blood vessels as described previously.[38 (link)] Briefly, slides were deparaffinized and rehydrated by a washing with a series of xylene and ethanol washes. Rehydrated slides underwent antigen retrieval using Dako target retrieval solution. Slides were incubated with rabbit anti-human CD31 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA) and kept overnight, followed by staining with anti-rabbit secondary antibody using Vectastain Elite ABC Kit (Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA). Sections were imaged using an Axiovert 200 inverted microscope (20x objective, 0.27 μm/pixel). Vessels stained positive for CD31 were manually counted using Axiovision AC (Carl Zeiss, Germany). Blood vessel density was calculated using the following formula: vessel density = (number of CD31 stained vessels)/(tissue area).

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.
