Specificity
In Western blotting of pure rabbit striated muscle actin or of total extracts from different tissues, e.g. rat striated muscle, rat myocardium, rat aortic media, human fibroblasts and pure chicken gizzard actin, ab28052 labels alpha-skeletal (alpha-sarcomeric) and alpha-cardiac muscle actins. No labelling is observed with actin from fibroblasts (alpha-smooth muscle and beta-cytoplasmic actin), aorta (alpha-smooth muscle actin), or chicken gizzard (gamma-smooth muscle actin). -

General notes
The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing the problem with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.
One factor contributing to the crisis is the use of antibodies that are not suitable. This can lead to misleading results and the use of incorrect data informing project assumptions and direction. To help address this challenge, we have introduced an application and species grid on our primary antibody datasheets to make it easy to simplify identification of the right antibody for your needs.

Immunocytochemistry analysis of HeLa cells labeling Alpha Skeletal Muscle Actin with ab28052 at 1/1000. Cells were fixed and permeabilized with methanol followed by aceton. The antibody was developed using Goat Anti-Mouse IgG, Cy3™ conjugate. Cells were counterstained with DAPI (blue) to stain nuclei.

ab28052 at dilution 1/200 staining alpha sarcomeric actin from rat neonatal cardiac myocytes by immunocytochemistry. The cells were fixed in paraformaldehyde, permeabilized in 0.1% NP40 and incubated with the antibody for 45 minutes. A Cy3® donkey anti-mouse antibody was used as the secondary antibody.
