HHF35 reacts with both alpha-muscle and gamma-smooth muscle actin, and therefore reacts with skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, vascular and visceral smooth muscle cells, pericytes and myoepithelial cells. It is also reactive in myofibroblasts. It does not react with epithelial, endothelial, neural or normal connective tissue cells when applied under the proper conditions to these tissue sections.

Each vial contains 50 ul 1 mg/ml purified monoclonal antibody in PBS containing 0.09% sodium azide.

Store at 4 degree C, or in small aliquots at -20 degree C.

HHF35 is useful for immunohistochemistry on frozen and paraffin-embedded tissues preserved in several types of fixatives (see reference 1), immunoblotting, immuno-electron microscopy and ELISA. For immunohistochemical appliCations to paraffin embedded tissues it is recommended to dilute the antibody in PBS containing 50 mM EDTA. Optimal antibody dilution should be determined by titRation; recommended range is 1:200 - 1:1000 for immunohistochemistry with avidin-biotinylated Horseradish peroxidase complex (ABC) as detection reagent, and 1:1000 - 1:5000 for immunoblotting appliCations.

Source Note: HHF35 is a Mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody derived by fusion of NS-1 Mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c Mouse immunized with an SDS-extracted protein fraction from Human myocardium.

Cross Reactivity: The epitope recognized by alpha-SM1 is highly conserved. The antibody therefore cross-reacts with many species including protochordates, lower craniates and mammals. Product Type: Primary Antibodies

Among the six actin isoforms described in mammals, two are found in virtually all cells (beta- and gamma-cytoplasmic), two are detected in smooth muscle cells (alpha- and gamma-smooth muscle) and two are present in striated muscles, one predominantly in skeletal (alpha-skeletal) and one in cardiac (alpha-cardiac) muscle cells. These actin isoforms differ slightly in their N-terminus, but the sequence of each of these actins is highly conserved in higher vertebRates. Alpha- muscle actin is present in striated as well as smooth muscle cells, and in pathological tissues derived therefrom. It has for example been detected in several types of muscle derived tumors, and also been shown to appear in stress fibers of fibroblastic cells involved in contractile phenomena such as wound healing and fibrocontractive diseases.
