CD31 antibody | WM59
Mouse anti Human CD31 antibody, clone WM59 (MCA1738) used for the detection of CD31 positive cells by flow cytometry.
Image caption:
Brain-derived cell lines express markers for mesenchymal stem cells and pericytes but not for glial or neuronal precursors. (A) Representative histogram of flow cytometry analysis of cortical line and (B) ventricular zone line. Progenitors from all donors and both regions highly express MSC (CD90, CD73, CD105, CD29, CD166 and CD49d) and pericyte markers (CD140b/PDGFR-β, RGS5, CD146, Nestin, α-SMA and NG2). They do not express hematopoietic (CD45), endothelial (CD31, CD34), microglial (CD14, CD11), glial or neuronal precursor cell markers (GFAP, O4) or myofibroblast markers (CD56), (green = isotype, red = respective marker).

Image caption:
Characterisation of clonal perivascular MSC progenitor lines. (A) Single cell in vitro a few hours after plating, and culture at 7 and 21 days, respectively. Scale bar 50 μm. (B) Clonally derived MSC show the same antigen profile as detected for polyclonal lines with pericyte and MSC markers but neither neuronal nor glial precursor cell markers (O4, GFAP) (example here cortical clone; green = isotype, red = respective marker).(C) QPCR comparing clones derived from the ventricular zone (n = 2), and the cortex (n = 2) to a human neuronal progenitor cell line MesC2.10. Data show the relative higher expression of mRNA for RGS5, PDGFR-β and α-SMA in the MSC clones compared to the control. As expected, Nestin mRNA was present in perivascular MSC clones and neural progenitors at comparable amounts. NG2 mRNA was slightly higher expressed in the MSC clones compared to the control. (D) Importantly, neural progenitors markers such as CD133, SOX1, NGN2, PAX6 and Musashi were highly expressed in the positive control but not detectable in MSC clones.

Image caption:
Figure 7. Apigenin reduces LPS-induced apoptosis in the lungs. Lungs from mice treated with LPS, control, apigenin (Api) or apigenin 3 h prior to LPS (Api + LPS) were obtained at 24 h. (A) The number of apoptotic cells was determined by the TUNEL assay and expressed as the mean ± SEM of the numbers of stained cells per 1000× microscopic field (cpf) (N = 4 mice for each biological condition; * p < 0.01 vs. LPS), scale bars: 25 μm for all figures; (B,C) Caspase-3 activity was determined by the DEVD-AFC assay using lung lysates as described in materials and methods. Values represent the means ± SEM (N = 4 mice for each biological condition; * p < 0.05 vs. LPS); (D) Lung tissue immuno-histochemistry using antibodies specific for active caspase-3 in combination with anti-CD31, anti-cytokeratin or anti-7/4 antibodies specific for endothelia, epithelia and neutrophils, respectively. Scale bars, 100 μm.

Mouse anti Human CD31 monoclonal antibody, clone WM59 (MCA17738) used for the detection of CD31 expressing cells in cardiovacular procegitor cell cultures by immunofluorescence.
Image caption:
In vitro differentiation of ISL1+ CVP clones into cardiomyocytes, as well as endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Undifferentiated ISL1+ CVP clones were maintained in medium supplemented with EDN1 and WNT3A. Differentiation of the CVPs into various cardiac lineages was achieved using protocols described under material and method. (a) Immunocytochemistry demonstrating the presence of endothelial cell (EC; CD31+), smooth muscle cell (SM; SMMHC+) and cardiomyocyte (CM; CTNT+) on differentiation with various differentiation media. EC was stained with mouse anti-CD31 primary antibody while SM and CM were stained with mouse anti-SMMHC and mouse anti-CTNT, respectively, at 1:100 dilutions. Cell nuclei (blue) were stained with 4,6-diamindino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Scale bar, 100 μm. (b) Graphical representation illustrating differentiation efficiencies of ISL1+ CVP into various cardiac lineages. Flow cytometric analyses for EC (CD31+), SM (SMMHC+) and CM (CTNT+) differentiation were performed on two progenitor clones (clones 1 and 2). Bars, s.d. of n=3 experiments. *P<0.05 and **P<0.001, evaluated by Student's t-test. (c–e) Quantitative PCR confirming the expression of CD31 and VWF (EC markers); SM22 and SMMHC (SM markers); and NKX2.5, GATA4, MEF2C, TBX5, CX43 and TNNT2 (CM markers) when ISL1+ CVP clones were differentiated into the various cardiac lineages. Gene expressions were normalized to the respective undifferentiated ISL1+ CVP clones. n=3 experiments. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01, evaluated by Student's t-test.

Image caption:
ISL1+ CVP differentiates and forms human–mouse chimeric circulatory system in vivo. (a) Xenografts stained positive for GFP present in kidney capsule and adult mouse heart after myocardial infarction (MI), demonstrating the engraftment of ISL1+ CVP-derived cells 3 weeks post transplantation. Cell nuclei (blue) were stained with 4,6-diamindino-2-phenylindole (DAPI). Scale bar, 100 μm. (b) Representative images of xenograft showing engraftment of ISL1+ CVP-derived differentiated cells in the kidney capsule and myocardium. Vasculature network could be seen from the surface of the xenograft (kidney capsule), with numerous blood vessels carrying red blood cells (RBCs) as shown in the haematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson stains (indicated with black arrows). Site of MI is marked by red arrow (lower panel). Connective tissues revealed by Masson stain (stained blue) were observed throughout the xenograft. Enlarged images show functional blood vessels carrying blood cells. RV, right ventricle; LV, left ventricle. Scale bar, 100 μm. (c) Representative immunofluorescent image of muscularized blood vessels in xenografts (both kidney capsule and myocardium). Rings of endothelial cells were stained positive for CD31 (stained red). The arteries were surrounded by additional ring of smooth muscle cells that were stained positive for α-SMA. Cell nuclei (blue) were stained with DAPI. Scale bar, 50 μm. (d) Graphical representation of the numbers and sizes of blood vessels observed in the xenograft per field (transplantation into myocardium after MI). Results were tabulated from 10 random fields of H&E stains of the xenografts. Bars, s.d. of n=3 sections. D, diameter. *P<0.05 and **P<0.001, evaluated by Student's t-test. (e) Large coronary-like artery developed from the transplanted ISL1+ CVP in the kidney capsule. Immunofluorescent staining of the section revealed an inner layer of endothelial cells (stained positive for CD31), which is surrounded by a thick layer of smooth muscle cells that were stained positive for both SMMHC and α-SMA. Connective tissue surrounding the artery was further depicted by the presence of fibrillin-1 (FBN1) as well as Masson stain (blue). Cell nuclei (blue) were stained with DAPI. Scale bar, 100 μm. Scale bar in enlarged image, 50 &mum.

Antibody Quality and 
Unrivaled 
| Mouse anti Human CD31 monoclonal antibody, clone WM59 recognizes the human CD31 antigen, a ~130 kDa single pass type I transmembrane glycoprotein bearing six C2 immunoglobulin domains. CD31 is expressed by all continuous endothelia including arteries, veins and non-sinusoidal capillaries, platelets,granulocytes and some lymphocytes. CD31 is not expressed by discontinuous endothelia such as hepatic sinusoids and splenic red pulp (Muller et al. 1989).CD31 is also known as PECAM-1. The binding epitope for mouse anti human CD31, clone WM59 has been mapped to the Ig-like domain 2 (Fawcett et al. 1995). |
