Protocol: FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS: Method: 1. Prepare a cell suspension in media A. For cell preparations, deplete the red blood cellpopulation with Lympholyte®-Rat cell separation medium. 2. Wash 2 times. 3. Resuspend the cells to a concentration of 2x10e7 cells/ml in media A. Add 50 µl of thissuspension to each tube (each tube will then contain 1x10e6 cells, representing 1 test). 4. To each tube, add 0. 5-1. 0 µg* of this Ab. 5. Vortex the tubes to ensure thorough mixing of antibody and cells. 6. Incubate the tubes for 30 minutes at 4°C. 7. Wash 2 times at 4°C. 8. Add 5 µl (1 µg) of secondary antibody (PE Goat anti-mouse F(ab1)2 IgG (H+L)) to eachtube. 9. Incubate the tubes at 4°C for 30-60 minutes. (It is recommended that the tubes areprotected from light since most fluorochromes are light sensitive). 10. Wash 2 times at 4°C in media B. 11. Resuspend the cell pellet in 50 µl ice cold media B. 12. Transfer to suitable tubes for flow cytometric analysis containing 15 µl of propidiumiodide at 0. 5 mg/ml in PBS. This stains dead cells by intercalating in DNA. Media: A. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7. 2) + 5% normal serum of host species + sodium azide(100 µl of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls). B. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7. 2) + 0. 5% Bovine serum albumin + sodium azide (100µl of 2M sodium azide in 100 mls).

Target Details

Target: Endothelium

Background: The endothelium is located at the interface between the blood and the vessel wall. The cells are in close contact and form a slick layer that prevents blood cell interaction with the vessel wall as blood moves through the vessel lumen. The endothelium consists of simple squamous epithelium that lines the lumen of all blood vessels. It plays a critical role in the mechanics of blood flow, the regulation of coagulation, leukocyte adhesion, and vascular smooth muscle cell growth, and also serves as a barrier to the transvascular diffusion of liquids and solutes. For years the endothelium was thought of as an inert single layer of cells that passively allow the passage of water and other small molecules across the vessel wall. However, this dynamic tissue performs many other active functions, such as the secretion and modification of vasoactive substances and the contraction and relaxation of vascular smooth muscle.Synonyms: endothelial cells, endothelial marker
