Background: PLVAP

PLVAP (Plasmalemma vesicle associated protein) is a membrane associated protein of caveolae and is found in fenestral and stomatal diaphragms in fenestrated endothelia and transendothelial channels. Normally in skeletal and cardiac muscle, PLVAP expression is limited to small arterioles and venules; however, under conditions of inflammation, it can be induced on previously non expressing vessels in cardiac muscle. In the central nervous system (CNS), the panendothelial cell antigen expression is developmentally regulated. During embryonic development, the antigen is found on brain vasculature up to day 16 of gestation, after which it disappears. The cessation of PLVAP expression in the CNS may be associated with the establishment of the blood brain barrier, which begins on day 16 of gestation. In the adult mouse, inflammation in the CNS can lead to re expression of the panendothelial cell antigen. This antibody was raised by a genetic immunization technique. Genetic immunization can be used to generate antibodies by directly delivering antigen-coding DNA into the animal, rather than injecting a protein or peptide (Tang et al. PubMed: 1545867; Chambers and Johnston PubMed: 12910245; Barry and Johnston PubMed: 9234514). The animal`s cells produce the protein, which stimulates the animal`s immune system to produce antibodies against that particular protein. A vector coding for a partial fusion protein was used for genetic immunisation of a mouse and the resulting serum was tested in Western blot against an E.coli lysate containing that partial fusion protein. Genetic immunization offers enormous advantages over the traditional protein-based immunization method. DNA is faster, cheaper and easier to produce and can be produced by standard techniques readily amenable to automation. Furthermore, the antibodies generated by genetic immunization are usually of superior quality with regard to specificity, affinity and recognizing the native protein.
