Detection of Mouse CD31/PECAM-1 by Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence Diminished permeability of liver sinusoids in Plvap-deficient mice.Neither by immunohistochemistry with antibodies against CD31 (A) nor by light microscopy of 1 µm semi-thin sections (B, Richardson's stain) obvious differences are detected with regards to the overall orientation and the density of liver sinusoids between 3-week-old Plvap-/- mice and wild-type littermates. Sinusoids of Plvap-deficient mice show a higher number of macrophages in their lumen (white arrows) and focal areas with accumulations of mononuclear cells in Disse's space (black arrows). Lower panels in B show higher magnifications. C, After perfusion of a wild-type animal with FITC-dextran, a strong FITC-signal (green) throughout the liver is detected. Immunolabeling with CD31 (red) suggests that FITC-dextran molecules have accumulated in the space of Disse. In contrast, in the Plvap-deficient littermate, the signal for FITC-dextran is much weaker and barely detectable. Nuclear DNA is labeled with DAPI (blue).
