| Cat. No. HS-351 008 |
50 µg purified recombinant IgG, lyophilized. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use. Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze! |
| Applications | |
| Clone | Rb53A2 |
| Subtype | IgG1 (κ light chain) |
| Immunogen | Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding AA 680 of mouse CD31 (UniProt Id: Q08481) |
| Reactivity |
Reacts with: mouse (Q08481), rat (Q3SWT0). No signal: human (P16284). Other species not tested yet. |
| Remarks |
This antibody is a chimeric antibody based on the monoclonal rat antibody SY-53A2. The constant regions of the heavy and light chains have been replaced by rabbit specific sequences. The antibody can therefore be used with standard anti-rabbit secondary reagents. The antibody has been expressed in mammalian cells. |

CD31 or platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1) is a cell adhesion molecule that contains a single trans-membrane domain and 6 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains (1). It is expressed on the surface of leukocytes and platelets and is primarily concentrated at endothelial cell-cell junctions (2). CD31 plays a role in several important biological processes, such as vascular development, maintenance of vascular endothelial barrier function and leukocyte emigration at inflammatory sites. In addition, CD31 promotes cancer metastasis by inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (3).
