This antibody portfolio includes a wide range of tissue- & tumor-specific primary antibodies for basic research, product development and analysis of a variety of biological questions. The monoclonal antibodies are perfectly applicable for all cell or tissue biology studies and for the analysis of predictive markers in research.
Ac1 represents an excellent marker for cardiac tissue; it discriminates fetal (cardiac) a-actin from all other actin isoforms. Fetal actin can be localized in regenerating skeletal muscle after injury (in satellite cells) and in veins of the umbelical cord. Mab Ac1-20.4.2 shows no cross reaction with other actin isoforms present in skeletal and smooth muscle, provided that stringent experimental conditions have been applied.
