Luis,

I would try smooth muscle actin (SMA) to stain the muscle in the vessel
walls, but that is just me.  My CD31 (from DAKO) works very well with enzyme
retrieval though??

Good Luck,

Hi all
does any one know of any other markers for blood vessels (in mice) besides
CD31?  I have tried CD31 but it has been problematic for me.  Any
Suggestions welcome
TIA
Luis
