Background of tropomyosin-4
The tropomyosins are a family of actin filament binding proteins. These proteins were first isolated from skeletal muscle, but later identified in many nonmuscle tissues. Tropomyosins are ubiquitous proteins of 35 to 45 kD associated with the actin filaments of myofibrils and stress fibers. Vertebrates have at least 4 different tropomyosin genes; in humans, they are named TPM1, TPM2, TPM3, and TPM4. Tropomyosins expressed as different isoforms in muscle and non-muscle cells.
Antibody Validation
Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence and ELISA with known positive and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity.

Western blot analysis of Tropomyosin(36kDa) expression in rat skeletal muscle extract (lane 1), rat cardiac muscle extract (lane 2), mouse skeletal muscle extract (lane 3), mouse cardiac muscle extract (lane 4), and HELA whole cell lysates (lane 5). Tropomyosin(36kDa) at 36KD was detected using mouse anti-Tropomyosin(36kDa) Antigen Affinity purified monoclonal antibody (Catalog # MA1096) at 0.5 μg/mL. The blot was developed using chemiluminescence (ECL) method (Catalog # EK1001).

Question
We are currently using anti-Tropomyosin(36kD) antibody (Monoclonal, TM228) MA1096 for rabbit tissue, and we are well pleased with the WB results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says chicken, human, rabbit. Is it true that the antibody can work on monkey tissues as well?

Asked: 2019-10-24
Answer
The anti-Tropomyosin(36kD) antibody (Monoclonal, TM228) (MA1096) has not been validated for cross reactivity specifically with monkey tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in monkey you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Question
I have a question about product MA1096, anti-Tropomyosin(36kD) antibody (Monoclonal, TM228). I was wondering if it would be possible to conjugate this antibody with biotin. I would need it to be without BSA or sodium azide. I am planning on using a buffer exchange of sodium azide with PBS only. Would there be problems for me to conjugate the antibody and store it in -20 degrees in small aliquots?
E. Johnson
Verified customer
Asked: 2018-06-12
Answer
It is not recommended storing this antibody with PBS buffer only in -20 degrees. If you want to store it in -20 degrees it is best to add some cryoprotectant like glycerol. If you want carrier free MA1096 anti-Tropomyosin(36kD) antibody (Monoclonal, TM228), we can provide it to you in a special formula with trehalose and/or glycerol. These molecules will not interfere with conjugation chemistry and provide a good level of protection for the antibody from degradation. Please be sure to specify this in your purchase order.

Question
Will MA1096 anti-Tropomyosin(36kD) antibody (Monoclonal, TM228) work on parafin embedded sections? If so, which fixation method do you recommend we use (PFA, paraformaldehyde, other)?
G. Wu
Verified customer
Asked: 2017-08-28
Answer
You can see on the product datasheet, MA1096 anti-Tropomyosin(36kD) antibody (Monoclonal, TM228) as been tested on WB. It is best to use PFA for fixation because it has better tissue penetration ability. PFA needs to be prepared fresh before use. Long term stored PFA turns into formalin, as the PFA molecules congregate and become formalin.
