 YesYesYesNo

Material
Rabbit polyclonal antibody against actin  protein. Actin is the major protein of the microfilament cytoskeletal system and is a key protein in various cell motility processes. The immunogen used for antibody production was a peptide consisting of the 11 C-terminal amino acids of actin. Human platelet extract (Cat. # EXT01) is included as a positive control for Western blot analysis. A characteristic actin band at 43 kDa is identified on Western blots (see Fig. 1). Antiactin antibody is supplied as a lyophilized white powder.

 

Example Results



AAN01-IF

Figure 3. Immunofluorescence images of mouse Swiss 3T3 cells stained with anti-actin antibody. Swiss 3T3 cells were grown to 50% confluency and fixed with methanol. Immunofluorescence staining using 2 μg/ml (1:500 dilution) of anti-actin antibody is shown (red). The primary antibody was detected with a 1:500 dilution of goat anti-rabbit rhodamine conjugated antibody. DNA (blue) was stained with 100 nM DAPI in PBS. Photograph was taken with a 100X objective lens.

AAN01-WB

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of anti-actin antibody. Protein samples were separated by electrophoresis and transferred to PVDF membrane as described in the methods. Anti-actin antibody was diluted to 500 ng/ml (1:1000) for Western blot analysis. Actin was detected in 10  μg of platelet extract (43 kDa). Molecular weight markers are from Invitrogen. 

AAN01-WB-2

Figure 2. Western blot of purified actin and cell extracts probed with anti-actin antibody. Chemiluminescence detection of skeletal muscle actin (100 ng, lane 1), and in cell extracts of Xenopus A6 cells (lane 2), mouse Swiss 3T3 cells (50 μg, lane 3), rat NRK cells (50 μg, lane 4), human HeLa cells (50 μg, lane 5), and platelet cells (50 μg, lane 6). The actin band is indicated at 43 kDa (see arrow). The blot was probed with a 500 ng/ml (1:1000) dilution of antiactin antibody.
