Human/Mouse/Rat alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin Antibody

alpha‑Smooth Muscle Actin in BG01V Human Embryonic Stem Cells.

a-Smooth Muscle Actin was detected in immersion fixed BG01V human embryonic stem cells differentiated to cardiomyocytes using Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/ Rat a-Smooth Muscle Actin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1420) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm and cytoskeleton. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.

alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin in Human Breast Cancer Tissue.

a-Smooth Muscle Actin was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human breast cancer tissue using Mouse Anti-Human/ Mouse/Rat a-Smooth Muscle Actin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1420) at 8 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Mouse HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; CTS002) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Detection of Human alpha‑Smooth Muscle Actin by Simple Western^TM.

Simple Western lane view shows lysates of iBJ6 human induced pluripotent stem cell line untreated (-) or differentiated to cardiomyocytes (+), loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for alpha‑Smooth Muscle Actin at approximately 49 kDa (as indicated) using 10 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat alpha‑Smooth Muscle Actin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1420) . This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin in Human Breast Cancer Tissue Using Dual RNAscope^®ISH and IHC.

alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin mRNA was detected (top image) in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections of human breast cancer tissue probed with ACD RNAScope® Probe (Catalog # 444771-C2) and stained using ACD RNAscope® 2.5 HD Duplex Detection Reagents (red, Catalog # 322500). Adjacent tissue section (bottom image) was processed for immunohistochemistry using R&D Systems Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1420) at 0.5 μg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte HRP Polymer Antibody (VC001) and DAB chromogen (brown). Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Detection of alpha‑Smooth Muscle Actin in Human Blood Monocytes by Flow Cytometry.

Human peripheral blood monocytes were stained with Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat a-Smooth Muscle Actin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1420, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (MAB003, open histogram), followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (F0101B). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with Flow Cytometry Fixation Buffer (FC004) and permeabilized with Flow Cytometry Permeabilization/Wash Buffer I (Catalog # FC005).

Overview of Multi-dimensional Microscopic Molecular Profiling (MMMP).The overall MMMP approach is depicted using an example tissue section from normal human duodenum (sample #1.9.7). (a) Slides were subjected to repeated cycles of staining and imaging with fluorescent primary antibodies and DAPI. At the end of each cycle, fluorescent signal was removed by a chemical bleaching process, and slides were again imaged, before proceeding to the next round of this iterative procedure. After the final antibody stain (#15 Sma), slides were analyzed with a series of histochemical stains. (b) A set of tiling images spanning each tissue section was initially generated by the microscope system. The tiling images were then computationally ‘stitched’ together to produce a single image per staining cycle for each sample. (c) Image registration was performed to align images from the same tissue section across cycles. Mean intensities of the DAPI signal from all immuno-fluorescence images are shown from before (Unregistered) and after (Registered) the image registration procedure was completed. (d) Following registration, signal intensities from the relevant channels for each image (columns) in the MMMP series were extracted for each pixel (rows) within the tissue section and compiled into a large data matrix of in situ molecular profiles.
