Background
PECAM-1 (Platelet-Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule-1), also known as CD31, is a 130 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein adhesion molecule in the immunoglobulin superfamily. Expression is restricted to cells involved in circulation, especially endothelial cells, platelets, monocytes, neutrophils and lymphocyte subsets. PECAM-1 is concentrated at cell-cell junctions and is required for Transendothelial Migration (TEM). The Extracellular Domain (ECD) of PECAM-1 has ten potential N-linked glycosylation sites and six C2-type Ig-like domains, the first of which is critical for adhesion and extravasation. The cytoplasmic domain contains Immunoregulatory Tyrosine-based Inhibitory and Switch Motifs (ITIM, ITSM) that mediate both inhibition and activation via phosphotyrosine-mediated engagement of SH2-containing signaling molecules. Metalloproteinase-mediated ectodomain shedding occurs during apoptosis but increased serum PECAM-1 ectodomain in HIV and active multiple sclerosis occurs independent of apoptosis. In humans, expression of six isoforms with exon deletions in the cytoplasmic domain is tissue- and stage-specific, but full-length PECAM-1 is predominant. A form lacking the ITSM predominates in mouse. Mouse PECAM-1 ECD shows 77%, 63%, 63%, 63%, and 61% amino acid (aa) identity with rat, human, canine, porcine, and bovine PECAM-1, respectively. PECAM-1 participates with other adhesion molecules in some functions, but is the critical molecule for TEM. Homotypic PECAM-1 adhesion in trans, combined with cycling of PECAM-1 to and from surface-connected endothelial cell vesicles, leads leukocytes across endothelial tight junctions. Homotypic adhesion and signaling functions also strongly suppress mitochondria-dependent apoptosis. In platelets, PECAM-1 is necessary for limiting thrombus formation and promoting integrin-mediated clot retraction and platelet spreading, but mechanisms for these phenomena are unclear. PECAM-/- mice are deficient in chemokine-mediated chemotaxis .

Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested six times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Spike Recovery
The spike recovery was evaluated by spiking 3 levels of human CD31/PECAM-1 into health human serum sample. The un-spiked serum was used as blank in this experiment.
The recovery ranged from 80% to 118% with an overall mean recovery of 98%.
The recovery ranged from 80% to 118% with an overall mean recovery of 98%.

Serum/Plasma – Thirty samples from apparently healthy volunteers were evaluated for the presence of CD31/PECAM-1 in this assay. No medical histories were available for the donors.
