a-Actin, Skeletal Muscle

May be stored at 4 °C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile 40-50% glycerol, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 °C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Recognizes human alpha-skeletal and alpha-cardiac (sarcomeric) actins as well as neoplasms derived from normal tissues (i.e. rhabdomyosarcomas). Shows no crossreaction with smooth muscle actin. Species Crossreactivity: bovine, rabbit, sheep, rat, guinea pig and frog.
