ab202295 staining alpha smooth muscle Actin in SV40LT-SMC 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 ab 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 SV40LT-SMC cells fixed with 100% methanol (5 min)

ab202295 staining alpha smooth muscle Actin (ACTA2) in wild-type NIH/3T3 cells (top panel) and ACTA2 knockout NIH/3T3 cells (bottom panel). The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min) then 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 with ab202295 at at 5µg/ml (shown in green) and ab190573, Rabbit monoclonal [EP1332Y] to alpha Tubulin 4 - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor^® 647), pre-adsorbed at 1/250 dilution (shown in magenta) dilution, overnight at 4°C. Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI (shown in blue).

Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

ab202295 staining staining alpha smooth muscle Actin (ACTA2) in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-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 ab202295 at 5µg/ml (shown in green) and ab190573, Rabbit monoclonal [EP1332Y] to alpha Tubulin 4 - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor^® 647), pre-adsorbed at 1/250 dilution (shown in magenta). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Also suitable in cells fixed with 100% methanol (5 min).
