Anti-Actin, Smooth Muscle (Leiomyosarcoma Marker), Monoclonal Antibody
Product Name | Anti-Actin, Smooth Muscle (Leiomyosarcoma Marker), Monoclonal Antibody |
---|---|
Description | Actin is a major component of the cytoskeleton and is present in most cell types. This monoclonal antibody is highly specific to actin from smooth muscles. Its epitope lies in the first four N-terminal amino acids. This monoclonal antibody does not stain cardiac or skeletal muscle; however, it does stain myofibroblasts and myoepithelial cells. This antibody could be used together with anti-muscle specific actin and myogenin in making a diagnosis of smooth muscle and skeletal muscle tumors. In most cases of rhabdomyosarcoma, this antibody yields negative results whereas anti-muscle specific actin and myogenin are positive. Leiomyosarcomas are positive only with anti-muscle specific actin and anti-smooth muscle actin and are negative with anti-myogenin. |
