Category | Monoclonal Antibody |
Clone Nr. | (#LF3(B7)D5B3) |
Isotype | IgG |
Species Reactivity | Rat |
Formulation | lyophilized |
Buffer | PBS |
Reconstitution | Centrifuge vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/ml. |
Stability and Storage | The lyophilized antibody is stable for at least 2 years at -20°C. After sterile reconstitution the antibody is stable at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. Frozen aliquots are stable for at least 6 months when stored at -20°C. Addition of a carrier protein or 50% glycerol is recommended for frozen aliquots. |
Preparation | Monoclonal antibodies were produced with the help of BALB/c mice using a membrane protein fraction of isolated rat glomeruli as the immunizing antigen. The mouse IgG antibody (#LF3(B7)D5B3) from hybridomas was purified from cell culture supernatant by Protein G chromatography. |
Antigen | membrane protein fraction of isolated rat glomeruli |
Application | WB, IHC |
Synonyms | Pdpn; E11; Gp38; OTS-8; RTI40; T1-alpha |
Description | Podoplanin is a well-recognized lymphatic endothelium marker, which can be used to reliably distinguish lymphatic vessels from blood vessels. It was originally discovered in kidney podocytes. This mouse monoclonal antibody (IgG) against rat podoplanin works well for immunohistochemistry with formalin-fixed paraffin embedded sections. This antibody also can be used in FACS sorting. |

Staining of lymphatic endothelial cells and podocytes in normal rat renal corpusle (paraffin-embedded tissue-sections fixed in formalin) with anti-rat Podoplanin [Cat# 104-M40].

Immunofluorescence staining of lymphatic endothelial cells and podocytes in normal rat renal corpusle (paraffin-embedded tissue-sections fixed in formalin) with anti-rat Podoplanin [Cat# 104-M40].

Rat cardiac lymphatic microvessels, labeled with a monoclonal antibody against rat Podoplanin (green) [Cat# 104-M40, left panel] and a polyclonal antibody against mouse LYVE-1 [Cat# 103-PA50; right panel] (red). Image was obtained at 20x magnification on a Zeiss fluorescence microscope. Scale bar = 50 μm. The used protocol in short was: 1. Blockage of nonspecific binding; 2. Incubation with primary abs : anti-mouse Lyve1 (1:1000) and mouse anti-Podoplanin (1:400) for 60 min at RT; 3. Incubation with secondary abs: Donkey anti-rabbit Cy3 and Donkey anti-mouse FITC, 30 min at RT; 4. Mounting in DAPI-containing medium for cell nuclei labeling.
The experiments were performed by the research group of Prof. Dr. E. Brakenhielm – Rouen University (see also: Henri O et al., Circulation, March 2016, DOI: 10.1161).
