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.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab32575).

Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

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).

Flow Cytometry analysis of HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells labeling alpha smooth muscle Actin with purified ab32575 at a dilution of 1/20 (red).

Cells were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde. A FITC-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (1/150) was used as the secondary antibody. Black - Isotype control, rabbit monoclonal IgG. Blue - Unlabeled control, cells without incubation with primary and secondary antibodies.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab32575).

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of mouse 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.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab32575).

This IHC data was generated using the same anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin antibody clone, E184, in a different buffer formulation (cat# ab32575).

Clone E184 (ab215368) has been successfully conjugated by Abcam. This image was generated using Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin antibody [E184] (Alexa Fluor® 488). Please refer to ab197240 for protocol details.

ab197240 staining alpha smooth muscle actin in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab197240 at a 1/100 dilution (shown in green) and ab195889, Mouse monoclonal to alpha Tubulin (Alexa Fluor^® 594), at a 1/250 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

This product also gave a positive signal under the same testing conditions in HeLa cells fixed with 100% methanol (5 min).
