Application Notes

This antibody recognises CD31 which is widely expressed on endothelial cells (Parums et al., 1990) and JC70 is a good marker of endothelial cells in paraffin sections. It may be used in the identification and characterisation of benign and malignant human vascular disorders (Parums et al., 1990). For instance, one group utilised this antibody to analyse formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded rat heart tissue in a study investigating relation between cisplatin and oxidative stress (Stojic et al., 2018). Similarly, another group labelled pancreatic tumour tissue samples against CD31 while studying factors influencing development of pancreatic cancer-associated thrombosis (Woei-A-Jin et al., 2016). Finally, Kandemir and colleagues (2012) stained formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples of cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma in order to characterise its immunohistochemical profile.

Short Description

This chimeric human antibody was made using the variable domain sequences of the original Mouse IgG1 format, for improved compatibility with existing reagents, assays and techniques.
