General description
ASM-1 represents an excellent marker for myogenic soft tissue tumors and smooth muscle differentiation. This antibody reacts with many types of smooth muscle cells, such as those present in vascular walls, intestinal muscularis mucosae and propria, myometrium, stroma of various tissues, and is also positive for myoepithelial cells of various glands, notably salivary and mammary gland. Myogenic soft tissues detected include leiomyosarcomas, leiomyomas, and certain stromal cells surrounding infiltrating ductal carcinoma of the breast.
Specificity
Expected to cross-react with bovine, equine and chicken. Reactivity with other species has not been confirmed.
This antibody is specific for the alpha-smooth-muscle isoform of actin (MW 43 kDa).
Immunogen
Epitope: N-terminus
Synthetic peptide corresponding to the ten N-terminal amino acids of the alpha-smooth muscle isoform of actin.
Application
Anti-Actin Antibody, smooth muscle, clone ASM-1 detects level of Actin & has been published & validated for use in IF, IH, IH(P) & WB.
Immunohistochemistry:
1:2000 dilution of a previous lot was used on frozen and formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissues; protease pretreatment is recommended for paraffin-embedded sections.
Immunofluorescence:
A previous lot of this antibody was used on Immunofluoresence.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
