[Histonet] CD31/PECAM in Rat Brain

[Danielle Zalinski]

Hello Histonetters,
Our lab is interested in looking at CD31/PECAM  in rat brain tissue as a 
marker for neovessels.

We don't know anyone in our facility who has used this antibody 
extensively, so we are at a loss for deciding on a manufacturer.  Has 
anyone worked with this antibody and has a (successful) protocol and 
manufacturer that they prefer?
We would prefer a mouse monoclonal for double labeling, but polyclonal 
is ok, too.  Does anyone know if we will need to use any exotic 
fixation/retrieval techniques?  We want to be able to work out a 
protocol first in paraffin and may adapt to frozen sections later.
Thank you for any help you can provide, and if you need more info, 
please let me know,
