PECAM1, also known as CD31, serves as a critical adhesion molecule expressed predominantly on endothelial cells, platelets, and various leukocyte populations. This transmembrane glycoprotein plays essential roles in angiogenesis, leukocyte transmigration across the endothelium, and maintaining vascular integrity. Its involvement in cell-cell interactions makes it an indispensable marker for vascular biology research, tumor microenvironment studies, and immunological investigations.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody (clone 9C9) offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Because recombinant antibodies are produced from defined sequences rather than traditional hybridoma methods, researchers benefit from lot-to-lot uniformity that supports reliable data across longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. The affinity-purified IgG2a format ensures minimal background interference in sensitive detection systems.
Validation studies demonstrate robust performance across multiple applications. In Western blot analysis, the antibody detects PECAM1 at an observed molecular weight of 140 kDa in THP-1 monocytic and Jurkat cell lysates at dilutions of 1:1000–1:5000. The difference between predicted and observed band sizes reflects the extensive glycosylation characteristic of this cell surface adhesion molecule. Flow cytometry validation in THP-1 cells confirms specific detection with clear separation from isotype control, supporting applications in cell phenotyping and population analysis at dilutions of 1:20–1:200. The antibody demonstrates cross-species reactivity with both human and mouse samples, providing flexibility for translational research models.
Whether investigating endothelial dysfunction in cardiovascular disease, characterizing tumor vasculature, examining stem cell differentiation, or studying immune cell trafficking, this PECAM1 antibody delivers the specificity and consistency needed for meaningful experimental outcomes.
