Anti α sma a5228

Manufactured by Merck Group

Anti-α-SMA; A5228 is a laboratory reagent used for the detection of alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) in various biological samples. It is a purified mouse monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to α-SMA, a cytoskeletal protein expressed in smooth muscle cells. This product can be used in techniques such as immunohistochemistry, western blotting, and flow cytometry to identify and quantify α-SMA-positive cells.

For histological examination, hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining, and Movat pentachrome staining were performed. Anti-CD31 (MAB1398Z; Millipore, Burlington, MA), anti-alpha-smooth muscle actin (anti-α-SMA; A5228; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO; and ab5694; Abcam, Cambridge, United Kingdom), anti-CD45 (Mab114; R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN), anti-PRDX2 (ab109367; Abcam), anti-4-hydroxynonenal (anti-4-HNE; ab46545; Abcam), anti-DNA/RNA damage antibody (anti-8-OHG) (ab62623; Abcam), and anti-mouse macrophage/monocyte antibody (anti-MOMA2) (MCA519G; Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA) were used as primary antibodies for immunostaining. After incubation with the primary antibodies, Alexa 488 and 594 (Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA) or biotinylated secondary antibodies with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine substrate (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA) were used to visualize the antigens. Furthermore, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) or hematoxylin was used to label the nuclei. The negative control tissues were prepared in a similar manner using IgG isotype control antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX). The immunofluorescence was imaged with an LSM 510 meta confocal microscope (Carl Zeiss, Oberkochen, Germany) or a BX53 microscope (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
