Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Chicken, Hamster, Pig, Dog, Rabbit, Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Desmin antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Specificity: Human, mouse, rat, rabbit, hamster, canine, chicken and swine.

Purification: Purified

Immunogen: RD301 is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody derived by fusion of SP2/0-Ag14 mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a mouse immunized with a cytoskeletal desmin extract of chicken gizzard.

Clone: RD301

Isotype: IgG2b

Application Details

Application Notes: RD301 reacts exclusively with desmin, which is expressed in smooth and striated muscle cells and their tumors e.g. rhabdomyosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. RD301 is suitable for immunoblotting and immunohistochemistry on frozen tissues. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titration, recommended range is 1:100 - 1:200 for immunohistochemistry with avidin-biotinylated horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagent, and 1:100 - 1:1000 for immunoblotting applications.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Storage: 4 °C

Target Details for Desmin

Target: Desmin (DES)

Alternative Name: Desmin (DES Products)

Background: Desmin is a 53 kDa intermediate filament protein that exhibits a high degree of tissue specificity, its expression being predominantly confined to all types of muscle cells (cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle). Regulation of desmin expression is stage and tissue-specific, since it is induced during terminal development of, for example, skeletal muscle cell differentiation. In skeletal en cardiac muscle cells desmin is localized in the Z-disk region and at the intercalated disk. The expression pattern of desmin in smooth muscle is much more heterogenous. Coexpression of vimentin and desmin has been observed in tumors derived from muscle tissue, i.e. rhabdomyosarcomas and leiomyosarcomas. Furthermore, during myocard dysfunction dramatic changes in the distribution of desmin have been observed.
