[Histonet] Cd31

[Patsy Ruegg]

Unfortunately we do not have an anti rat cd31 like the rat anti ms one, so
what I have used in rat tissue is either CD34 (not that specific to endo
cells, stains a lot of other stuff), SMA or F8 (these two pick up the more
mature vessels but not the early ones), we need an anti rat CD31 like the
anti ms one from Dianova.  Years ago SC had a good cd31 made in a rabbit or
goat that worked well in ms or rat tissue but the rabbit died or something
and we have not gotten another good one yet for rat tissue that I know of???

Hi

Which endothelial marker would you use for rat tissue?
I am really interested to see what you all say.
Thanks in advance
Helen
