immunohistochemistry listen (IH-myoo-noh-HIS-toh-KEH-mih-stree) A lab test that uses antibodies to test for certain antigens (markers) in a sample of tissue. The antibodies are usually linked to an enzyme or a fluorescent dye. When the antibodies bind to the antigen in the tissue sample, the enzyme or dye is activated, and the antigen can then be seen under a microscope. Immunohistochemistry is used to help diagnose diseases, such as cancer. It may also be used to help tell the difference between different types of cancer. National Cancer Institute
CD31 Antibody Staining Protocol for Immunohistochemistry. Description: This antibody reacts with CD31, also known as PECAM-1 (Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule-1).CD31 is a 130 kDa integral membrane protein, a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, that mediates cell-to-cell adhesion.D31 is expressed constitutively on the surface of adult and embryonic endothelial cells and is weakly expressed on many peripheral leukocytes and platelets. It has also been detected on bone marrow-derived hematopoietic stem cells and embryonic stem cells.
