CD31 (PECAM-1) Brilliant Violet 605 (390, Rat) - Reactivity: Mouse
| Description |
The 390 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD31, also known as PECAM-1 (platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule). CD31 is a ~130 kDa integral membrane glycoprotein, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, that mediates homophilic and heterophilic cell-cell adhesion. CD31 is expressed constitutively on the surface of adult and embryonic endothelial cells and is weakly expressed on many peripheral leukocytes and platelets. It has also been detected on bone marrow-derived hematopoietic stem cells and embryonic stem cells. CD31 is involved in the transendothelial emigration of neutrophils, and neutrophil PECAM-1 appears to be down-regulated after extravasation into inflamed tissues. Multiple alternatively spliced isoforms are detected during early post-implantation embryonic development; this alternative splicing is involved in regulation of ligand specificity. CD38 and vitronectin receptor (αvβ3 integrin, CD51/CD61) are proposed to be ligands for CD31. CD31-mediated endothelial cell-cell interactions are involved in angiogenesis. The 390 mAb inhibits a variety of in vitro and in vivo functions mediated by CD31. |

Brilliant™ Violet 605 (BV605) is an orange/red-emitting tandem fluorophore that can be excited by the 405 nm Violet laser and collected using a 610/20 bandpass filter. BV605 has an excitation peak at 405 nm and an and emission peak at 603 nm. BV605 is most commonly used in flow cytometry and is spectrally similar to SuperBright 600 (Thermo Fisher), SuperNova v605 (Beckman Coulter) and StarBright Violet 610 (Bio-Rad). BV605 is considered to be relatively bright and should be used on antigens of moderate to low abudance. This dye is part of the Brilliant™ Violet dye line of fluorescent polymers. Brilliant™ Violet 421 polymer is employed as the donor molecule in a series of tandem dyes with acceptor molecules emitting at various points across the visible light spectrum. The Brilliant™ Violet dyes are a superior alternative to QDot nanocrystals and similar to SuperNova dye from Beckman Coulter and StarBright dyes from Bio-Rad.
