Recommendation Dilutions/Conditions |
Immunohistochemistry (paraffin sections; optimal results with this antibody are obtained when the tissue to be stained is fixed in alcohol-based fixatives such as methacarn. Aldehyde-fixed (formalin, e.g.) specimens are not recommended for use with CGA7. Choose a good quality enzyme-linked anti-mouse IgG2b antibody for detection).General suggested starting dilution is 1:20-1:50.Suggested dilutions/conditions may not be available for all applications. Optimal conditions must be determined individually for each application. |
Source |
Purified from hybridoma tissue culture supernatant. |
Species Reactivity |
Chicken, Human, Monkey, Rabbit |
Specificity |
Recognizes actin isotypes α and γ of smooth muscle cells. This antibody labels leiomyosarcomas and leiomyomas but does not react with other neoplasms such as carcinoma or lymphoma. Except for myoepithelium, it is nonreactive with other mesenchymal and all epithelial cells. |
