Background: CD31/PECAM-1

Cluster of differentiation (CD31), Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 (PECAM-1), is a 30kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein expressed by endothelial cells, platelets, leukocytes and some lymphocytes (e.g., B and T-cell subsets). Structurally, PECAM-1 consists of six extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains which serve to support various functions including homophilic binding, maintaining high expression of PECAM-1 within endothelial intercellular junctions, and supporting endothelial cell migration (1,2). PECAM's homophilic binding underscores its role in vascular barrier integrity and leukocyte trans-endothelial movement. However, PECAM may also engage in heterophilic interactions with molecules such as glycosaminoglycans (GAG), integrin alpha 5 beta 3, CD38 in lymphocytes and CD177/PR3 in neutrophils (2).

PECAM's intracellular cytoplasmic domain consists of a sequence of 118 amino acids and contains serine and tyrosine (also referred to as immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs-ITIMs) residues, which may be phosphorylated upon cellular stimulation (3). ITIMs are phosphorylated by Src-family kinases and non-Src family kinases (e.g., Csk), leading to a conformational change which supports interactions with Src homology 2 (SH2) domain containing proteins such as protein-tyrosine phosphatase, SHP-2 (1,2). Formation of SHP-2/PECAM-1 complexes induces endothelial cell migration through the dephosphorylation of focal adhesion kinase and regulation of RhoA activity (1). Signaling downstream of ITIM tyrosine phosphorylations also plays a role in PECAM's anti-apoptotic activity, a function which is independent of its interaction with SHP-2. In platelets and leukocytes, phosphorylation of PECAM's cytosolic domain is inhibitory, preventing their activation.

Protocols

View specific protocols for CD31/PECAM-1 Antibody - BSA Free (NBP1-71663):


Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin Embedded Sections

Antigen Unmasking:
Bring slides to a boil in 10 mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) then maintain at a sub-boiling temperature for 10 minutes. Cool slides on bench-top for 30 minutes.

Staining:
1. Wash sections in deionized water three times for 5 minutes each.
2. Wash sections in wash buffer for 5 minutes.
3. Block each section with 100-400 ul blocking solution for 1 hour at room temperature.
4. Remove blocking solution and add 100-400 ul diluted primary antibody. Incubate overnight at 4C.
5. Remove antibody solution and wash sections in wash buffer three times for 5 minutes each.
6. Add 100-400 ul biotinylated diluted secondary antibody. Incubate 30 minutes at room temperature.
7. Remove secondary antibody solution and wash sections three times with wash buffer for 5 minutes each.
8. Add 100-400 ul Streptavidin-HRP reagent to each section and incubate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
9. Wash sections three times in wash buffer for 5 minutes each.
10. Add 100-400 ul DAB substrate to each section and monitor staining closely.
11. As soon as the sections develop, immerse slides in deionized water.
12. Counterstain sections in hematoxylin.

FAQs for CD31/PECAM-1 Antibody - BSA Free

Showing  1 - 2 of 2 FAQs Showing All

    • Q: I am looking for references concerning the use of NBP2-15797, NBP1-47913 and NB100-2284 in IHC on PFA- fixed section.
      A: Among your mentioned catalog numbers (NBP2-15797, NBP1-47913 and NB100-2284), we have published references for NB100-2284 only. Hylander et al. 2013 (Journal of Translational Medicine 2013, 11:110) have cited the IHC-P use of NB100-2284 and this paper has also explained a nice detailed IHC-P protocol that you may follow if you want to. NBP1-71663 is our bestselling catalog number among all CD31/PECAM1 antibodies and it has been cited in two publications, both explaining its use in IHC-P assays (Pratheeshkumar et al. 2012 PLoS One. 2012;7(10):e47516; and Pratheeshkumar et al. 2012 PLoS One. 2012;7(12):e52279)

    • Q: I'm interested in purchasing primary CD31/PECAM1 antibody for immunohistochemistry staining on formalin fixed paraffin embedded mouse samples. You have two antibodies that would work for paraffin sections, NBP1-71663 and NB100-92205, and both are rabbit polyclonal antibody. Which one would you recommend I purchase?
      A: I would recommend NBP1-71663 as the image is better than NB100-92205.
