Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin Antibody

Detection of alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin in Human Breast Tumor via seqIF™ Staining on COMET™​

ACTA2 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human breast tumor using Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1420) at 0.5ug/mL at 37° Celsius for 4 minutes. Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue underwent an all-in-one dewaxing and antigen retrieval preprocessing using PreTreatment Module (PT Module) and Dewax and HIER Buffer H (pH 9; Epredia Catalog # TA-999-DHBH). Tissue was stained using the Alexa Fluor™ 555 Goat anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody at 1:100 at 37 ° Celsius for 2 minutes. (Yellow; Lunaphore Catalog # DR555MS) and counterstained with DAPI (blue; Lunaphore Catalog # DR100).. Specific staining was localized to the cytoplasm of smooth muscle cells. Protocol available in available in COMET™ Panel Builder.​
Detection of Human a-Smooth Muscle Actin antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human alpha‑Smooth Muscle Actin by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of human heart tissue and iBJ6 human induced pluripotent stem cell line undifferentiated or cardiac differentiated. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.25 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human/ Mouse/Rat a-Smooth Muscle Actin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1420) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF018). A specific band was detected for a-Smooth Muscle Actin at approximately 40 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Detection of Mouse and Rat a-Smooth Muscle Actin antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Mouse and Rat alpha‑Smooth Muscle Actin by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of mouse colon tissue, C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line, NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line, and rat colon tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.1 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat a-Smooth Muscle Actin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1420) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF018). A specific band was detected for a-Smooth Muscle Actin at approximately 42 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
