Product type 

Primary antibodies

Description 

Mouse monoclonal [3-48] to heavy chain cardiac Myosin

Immunogen 

Full length native protein (purified) (Human).

Reacts with 
(species key)

Hu, Ms, Rat, Cow, Dog, Pig, Rb

Specificity 

This antibody is myosin alpha and beta heavy chain specific.

Affinity constants for:
Human ventricular myosin heavy chains - 3.33 x 108M-1
Human atrial myosin heavy chains - 1.48 x 108M-1
Human skeletal muscle myosin - 1.06 x 108M-1

Relevance 

Cardiac MHC exists as two isoforms in humans, alpha-cardiac MHC and beta-cardiac MHC. These two isoforms are expressed in different amounts in the human heart. During normal physiology, beta-cardiac MHC is the predominant form, with the alpha-isoform contributing around only 7% of the total MHC. Mutations of the MHC genes are associated with several different dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - heavy chain cardiac Myosin antibody [3-48] (ab15)

ab15 at 1/100 dilution staining neonatal rat cardiomyocytes by ICC/IF. The cells were paraformaldehyde fixed and blocked in 5% serum prior to incubation with the antibody for 30 minutes. Cells were sequentially incubated with phalloidin-TRITC (to label actin, red), heavy chain cardiac Myosin primary antibody [ab15], goat anti-mouse FITC conjugated secondary antibody (green) and finally DNA was labelled with DAPI (blue). Cells were mounted in glycerol and imaged with fluorescence microscopy.

ab15 at 1/100 staining rat heart tissue sections by IHC-P. The tissue was fixed with Histochoice for 72 hr, paraffin sectioned and then the slide was baked prior to staining with ab15 overnight at 4C. The image depicts a bundle of heavy chain cardiac myosin expressing cardic myocytes (red) of the heart tissue and counterstained nuclei (DAPI-blue). Note, the oval nuclei are centrally located within the cardiac myocyte cell bodies. The lines that are perpendicular to the long axis of the fibers (cross striations) are made of alternate red and black zone. The red (A-bands) striated areas are where myosin filaments align and the black gap (unstained area; I-bands) in between red zone are where actin filaments align.
