Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human smooth muscle tissue labeling alpha smooth muscle Actin with purified ab32575 at a dilution of 1/200. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using EDTA buffer pH 9. ab97051, an HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) was used as the secondary antibody (1/500)

Negative control using PBS instead of primary antibody.

Counterstained with hematoxylin.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of NIH/3T3(Mouse embryonic fibroblast) cells labeling alpha smooth muscle Actin with purified ab32575 at 1/500 dilution (5.2 µg/ml). Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. Cells were counterstained with Ab195889 Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor^® 594) 1/200 (2.5 µg/ml). Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^® 488, ab150077) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution (2 µg/ml) dilution. DAPI was used as nuclear counterstain. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control.

Alexa Fluor^® 488 (ab197240) and Alexa Fluor^® 647 (ab196919) conjugated versions are available for this clone.

FoxA1 (red) and alpha smooth muscle actin (green) staining are shown by indirect immunofluorescence on sections of prostate from mice of the indicated genotypes.

Wild type: 21 weeks, Tgfbr2^r/r: 44 weeks, Pten^r/r: 21 weeks, Pten^r/r;Tgfbr2^r/r: 11 weeks, Apc^r/r: 36 weeks, and Apc^r/r;Tgfbr2^r/r: 24 weeks old.

IF images were captured on an Olympus BX51 microscope and DP70 digital camera, or on a Nikon Eclipse NI-U and captured with a DS-QI1 camera with NIS Elements software.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence analysis of A431 (human epidermoid carcinoma) cells labeling alpha smooth muscle Actin (green) with purified ab32575 at 1/500. Cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100. ab150077, Alexa Fluor^® 488-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody. Cells were counterstained with ab7291, anti-Tubulin (mouse mAb) at 1/1000 followed by ab150120 Alexa Fluor^®594 goat anti-mouse secondary (1/1000). Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).

For negative control 1, rabbit primary antibody and anti-mouse secondary antibody (ab150120) were used. For negative control 2, ab7291 (mouse primary antibody) was used followed by anti-rabbit secondary antibody (ab150077).
