Specificity
The antibody (also cited as h-CD) reacts in immunoblotting assays with caldesmon polypeptide of 150 kDa (h-caldesmon). It does not cross-react with skeletal or cardiac muscle or with the 70 kDa non-muscle caldesmon. In immunohistochemical staining, the antibody exhibits smooth muscle specificity. It stains vascular and visceral smooth muscle cells but not epithelial, endothelial or connective tissue fibroblast cells. In normal and malignant breast tissue, the myoepithelial component of galactophorous sinuses (but not in ducts of lobules) is stained; however, the antibody may be non-reactive by immunocytochemical methods with cultured smooth muscle cells. This probably reflects the down regulation of caldesmon commonly observed in tissue culture.
Immunogen

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a life changing condition, affecting 20 million women worldwide. In this study, we developed a bioactive, injectable bulking agent that consists of Permacol™ (Medtronic, Switzerland) and recombinant insulin like growth factor-1 conjugated fibrin micro-beads (fib_rIGF-1)

Adequate blood flow through placental chorionic plate resistance arteries (CPAs) is necessary for oxygen and nutrient transfer to the fetus and a successful pregnancy. In non-placental vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs), K(+) channels regulate contraction, vascular tone and blood flow.

Expression of the regulatory contractile proteins, heavy caldesmon (h-caldesmon) and calponin was studied in human aortic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) during development and compared with the expression of alpha-SM-actin and smooth muscle-myosin heavy chain (SM-MHCs). For this study, novel monoclonal

Smooth muscle alpha-actin gene activity appears in promyocardial cells well before cardiac myocyte differentiation and is down-regulated during the onset of rhythmic contractility and cardiac morphogenesis. The levels of LIM-only CRP2 correlated well with smooth muscle gene activity. Cardiomyocyte-specific expression

Vascular smooth muscle cells (SMCs) undergo phenotypic switching during sustained inflammation, contributing to an unfavourable atherosclerotic plaque phenotype. PPARδ plays an important role in regulating SMC functions; however, its role in atherosclerotic plaque vulnerability remains unclear. Here, we explored the
