Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Desmin antibody [Y66] - Cytoskeleton Marker (AB32362)
Immunofluorescence staining of Desmin using ab32362 in ab277612, which were differentiated for 10 days post induction.
The cells were fixed with 100% MeOH (5 min) 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 ab32362 at 0.02 µg/mL and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin, at 1/1000 dilution. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled 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. Gamma is adjusted to 1.5 in all channels.
The antibody ab32362 gave comparable results using 4% formaldehyde fixation (10 min).

Desmin is a crucial muscle-specific type III intermediate filament protein essential for maintaining the structural integrity of muscle cells. Mutations in Desmin can lead to myopathy and cardiomyopathy, causing muscle weakness and heart disease. Utilizing Desmin as a biomarker can significantly aid in diagnosing these conditions and guiding treatment strategies.

Biological function summary
Desmin plays a significant role in maintaining cellular architecture by anchoring organelles such as nuclei and mitochondria within the cytoplasm. It associates with other proteins to form desmin intermediate filament networks which facilitate force transmission and maintain mechanical integrity. This protein does not operate in isolation but is part of a larger complex of cytoskeletal elements that reinforce muscle cell shape and resilience. Its interactions and binding with other cytoskeletal components confirm its essential role in muscle structure.
Pathways
Desmin links closely to the cell structure and function pathways providing stability during muscle contraction processes. It interacts with other proteins including actin and tubulin within the cytoskeleton network ensuring coordinated responses to mechanical stress. Specifically desmin integrates into pathways related to the maintenance of the sarcomere structure thereby connecting to additional important proteins like myosin and dystrophin which collectively uphold muscular function and integrity.
