IHC analysis of Actin/ACTA1 using anti-Actin/ACTA1 antibody. Actin/ACTA1 was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human bladder cancer tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 5 µg/ml mouse anti-Actin/ACTA1 Antibody overnight at 4°C. Biotinylated goat anti-mouse IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC) with DAB as the chromogen.

Western blot analysis of Actin/ACTA1 using anti-Actin/ACTA1 antibody. Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions. Lane 1: human HepG2 whole cell lysates, Lane 2: human SK-OV-3 whole cell lysates, Lane 3: human PANC-1 whole cell lysates, Lane 4: human Hela whole cell lysates, Lane 5: human A549 whole cell lysates, Lane 6: rat PC-12 whole cell lysates, Lane 7: mouse NIH/3T3 whole cell lysates, Lane 8: mouse HEPA1-6 whole cell lysates. After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with mouse anti-Actin/ACTA1 antigen affinity purified monoclonal antibody at 0.5 µg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1% Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-mouse IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:10000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Actin/ACTA1 at approximately 43 kDa. The expected band size for Actin/ACTA1 is at 43 kDa.
