• Reactivity:

  Human, Rabbit, Rat

• Storage Conditions:

  May be stored at 4 degree C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degree C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.

• Specificity:

  Recognizes human actin from tissue extracts of uterus, ileum, aorta, diaphragm, heart, and smooth muscle cells. Recognizes alpha actin from skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle, and gamma actin from smooth muscle sources. It stains tumors of smooth muscle (leiomyomas and leiomyosarcomas) as well as skeletal muscle (rhabdomyomas and rhabdomyosarcomas). Species Crossreactivity: rabbit and rat.
