Recombinant Anti-Smooth Muscle Actin Rabbit mAb

Western blot analysis of Smooth Muscle Actin expression in HEK293T (A), HepG2 (B), H1792 (C), mouse kidney (D), mouse muscle (E), rat kidney (F), rat muscle (G) whole cell lysates. (Predicted band size: 42 kD; Observed band size: 42 kD)
Immunohistochemical analysis of Smooth Muscle Actin staining in human colon cancer formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0). The section was then incubated with the antibody at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. Tyramide-AF488 (green) was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with DAPI (blue).
Immunofluorescent analysis of Smooth Muscle Actin staining in MCF7 cells. Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with the primary antibody in 3% BSA-PBS and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with an AF594-conjugated secondary antibody (red) in PBS at room temperature in the dark.
