Figure Lengend Snippet: Boxplot illustrating CD31 stain expressed as a percentage of tissue area. The derivation of CD31 measurements was as described for Fig. . The data illustrates that, relative to levels seen in the control lungs of sheep undergoing an acute radiation response (CON, Acutes), there was increased expression of endothelial cell marker throughout the lungs of sheep undergoing a chronic radiation response. With the exception of one sheep (ED982), radiation exposure was associated with a decrease in expression of CD31 in the radio-exposed lung (Rx) relative to the contralateral control lung (CON).
Article Snippet: Primary antibodies CD31 (PECAM-1) clone CO.3E-1D4 (Novus Biologicals NB100-65900) and Normal Mouse IgG (Sigma M5284) were diluted to 10 μg/ml in 1:10 blocking solution (10% NDS/BSA/PBS-T diluted in BSA/PBS-T) and incubated overnight at 4 °C.
