Monoclonal Anti-Actin, muscle specific (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma HHF-35 produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from BALB/c mice immunized with SDS extracted protein fraction of human myocardium. The two major cytoskeletal proteins implicated in cell motility are actin and myosin. Although actin is one of the most conserved eukaryotic proteins, it is expressed in mammals and birds as six isoforms characterized by electrophoretic mobility and amino acid sequence analysis.
Immunogen
SDS-extracted protein fraction of human myocardium.
Application
The antibody may be used in various immunochemical techniques including, immunoblotting, immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Actin and myosin are constituents of many cells types and are involved in a myriad of cellular processes including locomotion, secretion, cytoplasmic streaming, phagocytosis, and cytokinesis.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) is overexpressed in atherosclerotic plaques by unknown mechanisms. We have examined here the putative mechanism(s) responsible for this overexpression in the atherosclerotic lesion and its potential modulation by simvastatin, both in vitro and in vivo.

A monoclonal antibody to muscle cell actin isotypes was produced and characterized. Immunocytochemical analysis of methanol-Carnoy's-fixed, paraffin-embedded human tissue revealed that this antibody, termed HHF35, reacts with skeletal muscle cells, cardiac muscle cells, smooth muscle cells, pericytes, and myoepithelial cells
