IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human prostate. Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (Alexa Fluor® 700 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/100 dilution (magenta) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.

Background
α-smooth muscle actin, encoded by ACTA2, is expressed in abundance in vascular smooth muscle, comprising 50–70% of total actin, with the remainder composed of β-cytoplasmic and γ-actins. Whereas Sα-smooth muscle expression is normally restricted to smooth muscle cells, it can also be expressed in nonmuscle cells, most notably myofibroblasts that use cell traction forces to remodel extracellular matrix.
