Beta Actin Antibody (AC-15) Summary:
Species:Bv, Ca, Ch, Dr(-), Fe, Fi, GP, Hu, Le, Mu, Po, Rb, Rt, Sh
Applications:ELISA, ICC, IF, IHC-Fr, WB
Clonality:Monoclonal
Gene:ACTB
Purity:Ascites
Host:Mouse
Specificity:In staining of chicken gizzard ultrathin tissue cryosections, the antibody labels the dense bodies and longitudinal channels linking consecutive dense bodies that are also occupied by desmin and the membrane-associated dense plaque. It does not stain adult cardiac and skeletal muscles except for traces due to contaminations of the sample with non-muscle cells, or if embryonic tissue is being used. The antibody can be used for staining of acetone-fixed frozen sections, EM preparations, and microinjection experiments. B5, ethanol, methacam, or Bouin's solutions can be used as fixatives. The epitope recognized by the antibody is resistant to formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedding.
Publications:Antibody has been mentioned in at least 37 Publications.
Note: Not all species have been tested for usefulness with this product. Only those species listed have been tested. We cannot make any guarantees about additional reactivities which may or may not occur.

Background:

Beta-actin is one of six different actin isoforms which have been identified. Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in cell motility, structure, and integrity. Because beta-actin is ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells, it is frequently used as a loading control for assays involving protein detection, such as Western blotting. Antibodies to beta-actin provide a specific and useful tool in studying the intracellular distribution of beta-actin and the static and dynamic aspects of the cytoskeleton.
