Model 1A4 - Alpha-Smooth Muscle

Species: Mouse Monoclonal, Clone: 1A4, Isotype: IgG2a,k, Species Reactivity: Human, Baboon, Cow, Rabbit, Mouse, Rat, Chicken.Positive Control: Blood vessels,Specificity: This antibody recognizes the a-smooth muscle form of actin. It shows no cross reaction with actin from fibroblasts (b- and g-cytoplasmic), striated muscle (a-sarcometric), and myocardium (a-myocardial). Its epitope is composed of the acetyl group and the first 4 amino acids on the N-terminal end of the peptidic chain of a-smooth actin. ScyTek`s 1A4 stains smooth muscle cells in vessel walls, gut wall, and myometrium. Myoepithelial cells in breast and salivary gland are also stained as they also contain this actin.
