Scientific Data

Western Blot Detection of Human MCAM/CD146 antibody by Western Blot. View Larger

Detection of Human MCAM/CD146 by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of K562 human chronic myelogenous leukemia cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human MCAM/CD146 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF932) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF019). A specific band was detected for MCAM/CD146 at approximately 117 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

MCAM/CD146 in BG01V Human Embryonic Stem Cells. MCAM/CD146 was detected in immersion fixed BG01V human embryonic stem cells using Goat Anti-Human MCAM/CD146 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF932) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the Northern-Lights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cell membranes and cytoplasm. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Stem Cells on Coverslips.

Detection of Human MCAM/CD146 by Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence MCAM and COLEC12 are novel BEC- and LEC- specific markers.Two new endothelial markers MCAM and COLEC12 (selected from our analysis of Dataset B) were used to stain (A) normal human lymph nodes together with two established vascular markers PV-1 (for BEC) and CLEVER-1 (for LEC). In addition, (B) chronically inflamed tonsils and (C) specimens from bladder cancer and colorectal cancer were stained with the antibodies against the indicated proteins. LYVE-1 and COLEC12 co-staining was done on colorectal cancer specimens, whereas the other stainings represent bladder cancer. MCAM staining colocalized very well with the established BEC marker PV-1 whereas no colocalization could be detected between MCAM and the established LEC markers LYVE-1 and podoplanin. COLEC12-staining on the other hand showed colocalization with LYVE-1 but not PV-1. White arrows point to areas of colocalization. Nuclear counterstaining was performed with DAPI. Scale bars represent 100 µm. Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following open publication (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24058540), licensed under a CC-BY license.
