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.

Immunocytochemistry

IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human prostatic hyperplasia. Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/500 dilution (Green). Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.

IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human colon. Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/500 dilution (Green). Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.

IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded mouse stomach. Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) antibody was used at 1/500 dilution (Green). Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.
