For mouse (specifically) have used CD31 from BD catalog number 550274. Its a rat ant-mouse (Clone MEC13.3). 
can supply more info if need.
The problem I have found is finding good control material for this marker. especially since my only source tends to be the investigators that provide me the samples to begin with.....

Just wonder anyone has a suggestion of antibody that works on rat brain? Frozen section and parafin sections?
It would be great if this also works on mice.

You have to have a specific CD31 to work on mouse brain. Very few of 
them do.
