CD31 (PECAM-1) Antibody (BMS137) in ICC/IF
Immunofluorescence analysis of Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule was performed using 70% confluent log phase HUVEC cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 for 15 minutes, and blocked with 2% BSA for 45 minutes at room temperature. The cells were labeled with CD31 (PECAM-1) Monoclonal Antibody (Gi18), eBioscience™ (Product # BMS137)... View More

Product Specific Information
Description: The antibody BMS137 recognizes platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule 1 (PECAM-1) also known as CD31, a transmembrane glycoprotein with a molecular weight of approximately 130 kDa, depending on the degree of glycosylation. PECAM-1 is constitutively expressed on all vascular cells and has provided a useful immunohistochemical marker of blood vessels, particularly in the setting of angiogenesis. It has also been found on platelets, monocytes, neutrophils and CD8+ T cells. Bone marrow stem cells and transformed cell lines of the myeloid and megakaryocytic lineage also express PECAM-1. Interestingly, PECAM-1 was also detected on human, mouse and rat solid tumor lines.
Recent studies suggest a role for PECAM-1 in the inflammatory process and leukocyte-endothelial interaction. PECAM-1 is an early and sensitive marker for tumor-induced angiogenesis. Several data have suggested that PECAM-1 may be involved in the process of angiogenesis in a developing vertebrate embryo as well as during metastases formation.
Applications Reported: This BMS137 antibody has been reported for use in ELISA, western blotting under non-reduced conditions, cell staining followed by both FACS and flow cytometric analysis, immunohistochemical staining of both frozen and FFPE tissues.
Applications Tested: This BMS137 antibody has been tested by western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry on human FFPE tissue using both low and high pH antigen retrieval at 30 µg/mL. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
Purity: >95%.
Target Information
CD31 (platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1, PECAM-1) is an inhibitory coreceptor involved in regulation of T cell and B cell signaling by a dual immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) that upon associated kinases-mediated phosphorylation provide docking sites for protein-tyrosine phosphatases. CD31 is expressed ubiquitously within the vascular compartment and is located mainly at junctions between adjacent cells. N-terminal Ig-like domain of CD31 is responsible for its homophilic binding, which plays an important role in cell-cell interactions. CD31 is a multifunctional molecule with diverse roles in modulation of integrin-mediated cell adhesion, transendothelial migration, angiogenesis, apoptosis, negative regulation of immunoreceptor signaling, autoimmunity, macrophage phagocytosis, IgE-mediated anaphylaxis and thrombosis. It is one of key regulatory molecules in vascular system.
