Recognizes the CD31 (PECAM-1, endoCAM, gpIIa, hec7), human cell surface integral membrane glycoprotein. The antibody increases the rate of homotypic aggregation induced in U937 cells by TGF-β1. Its reactivity with platelets is enhanced following their washing. 5th Workshop: code No. P025
Immunogen
human cell line RC-2A, originally derived from myeloid leukemia cells.
Target description
Human CD31 (PECAM-1) is expressed on platelets, endothelial cells, myeloid cells, B lymphocytes, and certain T lymphocyte subsets. CD31 (PECAM-1) functions in homophilic and heterophilic cell-cell adhesion and cell signaling activities.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide.
The mechanism of cell-cell contact dependent regulation of pericellular proteolysis in angiogenesis was examined by studying the expression of MMPs using isolated HUVECs in culture. Zymography, Immunoblot and RT-PCR analysis showed that the production and secretion of matrixmetalloproteinase-2 and matrixmetalloproteinase-9
