Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

Der Antikörper (auch als Anti-α-Sm-1 bekannt) ist spezifisch für die α-Isoform des Glattmuskelaktins. Er reagiert spezifisch mit α-Glattmuskelaktin in Immunblotting-Assays und markiert glatte Muskelzellen in gefrorenen oder Formalin-fixierten Paraffin-eingebetteten Gewebeschnitten.

Actin is a highly conserved protein that is a major component of both the cytoskeletal and contractile structures in all cell types. It varies in amount, being related to the type of differentiation and to the functional state of cells and tissues. Actin can be found in two different forms of aggregation, the globular or the fibrillar state, and at least six distinct isoforms occur in vertebrates. The actins exhibit over 90% sequence homology, but each isoform has a unique NH2-terminal sequence. The isoforms are comprised of three α actins (skeletal, cardiac, smooth), one β actin (β-non-muscle) and two γ actins (γ smooth muscle and γ non-muscle).

Immunogen

N-terminales synthetisches Decapeptid von α-Glattmuskelaktin.

Anwendung

Glatte Muskelzellen boviner Aorten werden unter Verwendung des monoklonalen Anti-ACTA2-Antikörpers immunzytochemisch untersucht. Die Zellen werden zunächst auf Deckgläsern gezüchtet und 10 Minuten bei 4 Grad in 50 % Aceton/EtOH fixiert.

Paraffinschnitte von Rattenhoden-Gewebetransplantaten werden immunhistochemisch mit monoklonalen Maus-Antikörpern gegen Glattmuskelaktin gefärbt.
Zur Identifizierung von Myofibroblasten wird X-Gal-gefärbtes Maus-Herzgewebe unter Anwendung des monoklonalen Maus-Primärantikörpers gegen Glattmuskelaktin immunhistochemisch untersucht.

Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunohistochemistry (1 paper)

Immunocytochemistry was performed on kertocytes fixed in 1% PFA and incubated with mouse monoclonal anti-smooth muscle actin (14A) at a 1:100 dilution.

Mouse monoclonal anti-actin, α−smooth muscle-alkaline phosphatase antibody has been used for immunohistochemical application in mouse and human tissues.

Physikalische Form

Solution in 0.05 M Tris buffer, pH 8.0, containing 1 mM MgCl₂, 1% bovine serum albumin, 50% glycerol, and 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative.
