Actin, Muscle Specific antibody (Biotin)

Catalog No. ABIN6162603

Product Details anti-Actin, Muscle Specific Antibody (Biotin)

Target: Actin, Muscle Specific

Reactivity: Human, Rabbit, Rat

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Actin, Muscle Specific antibody is conjugated to Biotin

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Sections) (IHC (f)), Western Blotting (WB)

Purpose: Mouse Monoclonal anti-Muscle-Specific-Actin (MSA/953), Biotin Conjugate

Characteristics: This antibody recognizes actin of skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle cells. It is not reactive with other mesenchymal cells except for myoepithelium. Actin can be resolved on the basis of its isoelectric points into three distinctive components: alpha, beta, and gamma in order of increasing isoelectric point. Anti-muscle specific actin recognizes alpha and gamma isotypes of all muscle groups. Non-muscle cells such as vascular endothelial cells and connective tissues are non-reactive. Also, neoplastic cells of non-muscle-derived tissue such as carcinomas, melanomas, and lymphomas are negative.It stains tumors of smooth muscle (leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas) as well as skeletal muscle (rhabdomyomas and rhabdomyosarcomas). Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® dyes and other labels. CF® dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.

Immunogen: Synthetic peptide common among human muscle actins

Clone: MSA-953

Isotype: IgG1 kappa
