General Notes
Mouse anti Rat CD31 antibody, clone TLD-3A12 recognizes rat PECAM-1 (CD31), a 661 amino acid type 1 transmembrane protein expressed primarily on endothelial cells, platelets and leucocytes.Clone TLD-3A12 has been shown to partially block the proliferative response of antigen-specific CD4+ T cells to antigen-presenting cells and relevant antigen (Stevenson, K.S. et al.2009). Mouse anti Rat CD31 antibody, clone TLD-3A12 is suitable for use in IHC on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections pre-treated with 0.2M boric acid, pH7.0. (Wilson et al. 2007). Mouse anti Rat CD31, clone TLD-3A12 has been shown to be cross-reactive with endothelial cells derived from rhesus macaque (Maclean et al. 2001)
