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.

Immunohistochemistry

IHC shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human colon. Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (SMA) antibody was used at 1/1000 dilution, followed by a HRP Polymer for Mouse & Rabbit IgG (ready to use). Counterstained with hematoxylin. Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

IHC shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded human gastric carcinoma.

Immunofluorescence

IF shows positive staining in paraffin-embedded mouse colon. Anti-alpha smooth muscle Actin (SMA) antibody was used at 1/125 dilution (Green) and incubated overnight at 4°C. Goat polyclonal Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) was used as secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution. Counterstained with DAPI (Blue). Heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH9.0 was performed before commencing with IF staining protocol.
