CD31 (PECAM-1) Brilliant Violet 605 (L133.1, Mouse) - Reactivity: Human
| Description |
The L133.1 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes CD31, the platelet/endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1 (PECAM-1), a 130 to 140-kilodalton (kDa) single-chain integral membrane glycoprotein that is a member of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily. The CD31 antigen is composed of six extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains belonging to the C2 group. C2 domains are also found in other members of the immunoglobulin superfamily, the cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). The CD31 antigen functions as a vascular cell adhesion molecule and is involved in the process of leucocyte migration through the intercellular junctions of vascular endothelial cells. It may also be involved in thrombosis, angiogenesis, wound healing, and inflammation. The CD31 antigen is expressed on endothelial cells, platelets, T-lymphocyte subsets, monocytes, and granulocytes. The CD31 antigen has also been found in metastatic colon carcinoma. The CD31 antigen is the only known member of the CAM family to be expressed on platelets. The antigen is localized at regions of cell-cell contacts and may function as an adhesion molecule, mediating adhesion between leucocytes/endothelial cells, leucocytes/platelets, and endothelial cells/endothelial cells. |

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.
