Anti sm α actin

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in Sao Tome and Principe, Japan

Anti-sm-α-actin is a laboratory reagent used for the detection and quantification of smooth muscle α-actin, a protein found in the contractile apparatus of smooth muscle cells. It is commonly used in immunohistochemistry and Western blotting applications to identify and analyze the presence and distribution of smooth muscle cells in various tissues and samples.

For phenotypic identification of OECs in uninfected and infected cultures, the fixed cultures were incubated with rabbit polyclonal anti-p75 neurotrophin receptor antibodies (p75 NTR –1/400, Sigma) and an anti-smooth muscle α-Actin (anti-SM α-Actin – 1/100, Sigma). After reaction with the primary antibodies of interest, cells were incubated with goat anti-rabbit IgG and sheep or goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibodies, labeled with either Alexa 488 or Cy3 (Life Technologies; Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA), washed in pH 7.4 PBS, mounted with N-propylgallate (Sigma) in PBS–glycerol and coverslipped.

Antibodies used in this study were as follows: anti-DYKDDDDK (anti-Flag) antibody (Trans Genic, Kobe, Japan), anti-SMα−actin, anti-α−tubulin antibodies, and anti-Flag M2 affinity gel (Sigma, St. Louis, MO), anti-myoD and anti-myogenin antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA), anti-myosin heavy chain (MHC) antibody (MF20) (Developmental Studies Hybridoma Bank), and Alexa 568-conjugated secondary antibody (Molecular Probes, Eugene, OR). Concerning a polyclonal anti-MRTF-A antibody, we described in detail previously [13 (link)]. Detail information about the plasmids used in this study was described elsewhere [8 (link), 22 (link)].

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.
