Components:

45x Ab-conjugated beads (S4P3 - human sPECAM-1 Ab-bead). PN: B113290A. One vial containing 100 µL of anti-human sPECAM-1 conjugated to AimPlex Bead S4P3.

25x Biotin-detection Ab (human sPECAM-1 Biotin-dAb). PN: B113290B. One vial containing 100 µL of biotinylated anti-human sPECAM-1.

Lyophilized Standard Mix-Human Group 5 Panel A, 8-Plex. PN: HG50008. One vial containing lyophilized recombinant human sE-Cadherin, sLIGHT, sTRAIL-R3, s4-1BB, sCD30L, sVEGFR2, BlyS, and sPECAM-1. Note: If multiple analyte kits on the above target list are ordered as a panel, only one vial of standard mix is supplied for those analyte kits.

Application: Optimal antibody pair and antigen standard for assaying human PECAM-1/sCD31. Can be multiplexed with other analytes in Human Group 5.  To be used in conjunction with the AimPlex NR Basic Kit (PN: P100001) and a diluent kit. Refer to the AimPlex Multiplex Immunoassay User Manual and kit inserts for the assay procedure.

Storage:  2-8 C in the dark.

Important: Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. These products contain <0.05% (w/w) azide which with repeated contact with lead and copper commonly found in plumbing drains may result in the buildup of shock sensitive compounds. Dispose in accordance with regulations from your institute.

Description:

Platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule (PECAM-1) also known as cluster of differentiation 31 (CD31) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PECAM1 gene found on chromosome 17. PECAM-1 plays a key role in removing aged neutrophils from the body. PECAM-1 is found on the surface of platelets, monocytes, neutrophils, and some types of T-cells, and makes up a large portion of endothelial cell intercellular junctions. The encoded protein is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and is likely involved in leukocyte transmigration, angiogenesis, and integrin activation. Diseases associated with PECAM1 include angiosarcoma and erythema elevatum diutinum.
