Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin ACTA2 Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody

Western blot analysis of alpha-SMA using anti-alpha-SMA antibody (M01072-3).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human A431 whole cell lysates,
Lane 2: human A549 whole cell lysates,
Lane 3: human Hela whole cell lysates.
Lane 4: rat C6 whole cell lysates.
Lane 5: mouse NIH/3T3 whole cell lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-alpha-SMA antigen affinity purified monoclonal antibody (Catalog # M01072-3) at 1:1000 overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:1000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for alpha-SMA at approximately 42 kDa. The expected band size for alpha-SMA is at 42 kDa.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human breast carcinoma, using alpha smooth muscle Actin Antibody(M01072-3)
ACTA2 was detected in paraffin-embedded tissue section. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution) for 20 mins. The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 1ug/ml rabbit anti-ACTA2 Antibody (M01072-3)overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC)(Catalog # SA1022) with DAB as the chromogen.

IF analysis of alpha-SMAusing anti-alpha-SMA antibody (M01072-3).
alpha-SMA was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human tosil tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated at 1:50 rabbit anti-alpha-SMA Antibody (M01072-3) overnight at 4°C. DyLight®488 Conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (BA1127) was used as secondary antibody at 1:500 dilution and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The section was counterstained with DAPI. Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.
