Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-PLVAP/PV-1 antibody [MECA-32] - BSA and Azide free (AB256145)

This data was developed using ab27853, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

ab27853 staining PLVAP/PV-1 in b.End3 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 minutes), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1 hour. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab27853 at 2 μg/mL and ab6046, Rabbit polyclonal to beta Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150165, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rat IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-absorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150080, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). Also suitable in cells fixed with 100% methanol (5 minutes).

Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

This data was developed using ab27853, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

IHC image of PLVAP/PV-1 staining in a section of frozen normal mouse large intestine performed on a Leica BOND™ system using the standard protocol. The section was fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde (10 min) prior to staining. The section was incubated with ab27853, 1 μg/mL, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Flow cytometry overlay histogram showing bEND.3 (mouse brain endothelioma cell line) cells stained with ab27853 (red line). The cells were incubated in 1x PBS containing 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interaction followed by the antibody (ab27853) (1x106 in 100 μL at 1 μg/mL) for 30 min on ice.

The secondary antibody Goat anti-rat IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488, pre-adsorbed) (ab150165) was used at 1/2000 for 30 min on ice.

Isotype control antibody (black line) was Rat IgG2aκ (ab18450) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

Acquisition of >5000 events were collected using a 50 mW Blue laser (488nm) and 530/30 bandpass filter.

Supplementary information

PLVAP also known as PV-1 is a transmembrane protein that plays a significant role in organizing the stomatal and fenestral diaphragms of endothelial cells. It weighs approximately 60 kDa. This protein is mainly expressed in fenestrated capillaries and sinusoidal endothelium where it forms diaphragms and contributes to the permeability and ultrastructure of capillary beds. PLVAP's role in endothelial cells highlights its importance in maintaining vascular permeability and cellular structures.
Biological function summary

The functions of PLVAP are significant in maintaining an organized structure within endothelial cells. It forms part of the complex structure that comprises the diaphragms of endothelial fenestrae transendothelial channels and caveolae. These structures are necessary for regulating fluid exchange and molecular transport between blood and tissue. The presence of PLVAP at these sites signals its role in modulating vascular barrier functions essential for efficient blood-tissue communication.

Pathways

Researchers have identified PLVAP's involvement in important vascular and endothelial pathways. It plays a critical part in the VEGF signaling pathway which regulates vascular permeability and endothelial cell behavior. PLVAP is closely associated with other proteins like VE-cadherin and claudin-5 that ensure cohesion and permeability in endothelial cells. In pathways regulating vascular permeability PLVAP's presence helps mediate fluid exchange and maintain tissue homeostasis.

PLVAP associates with conditions involving vascular dysregulation. Hypo- or hyper-expression of PLVAP can relate to the pathogenesis of cancer and inflammatory diseases. In cancer changes in PLVAP expression might contribute to altered tumor vasculature and metastasis often in association with proteins like VEGF and VEGFR-2. Furthermore inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis see changes in the protein expression levels that might disrupt vascular integrity linking them with proteins involved in inflammatory responses like ICAM-1 and VCAM-1.

Target data

Endothelial cell-specific membrane protein involved in the formation of the diaphragms that bridge endothelial fenestrae. It is also required for the formation of stomata of caveolae and transendothelial channels. Functions in microvascular permeability, endothelial fenestrae contributing to the passage of water and solutes and regulating transcellular versus paracellular flow in different organs. Plays a specific role in embryonic development.
