Desmin Antibody (754-9747-94) in IHC (P)
Immunohistochemical analysis of Desmin was performed on FFPE human skeletal muscle tissue. To expose the target protein, HIER was performed on de-paraffinized sections using BOND Epitope Retrieval Solution 2 (pH 9) for 20-mins, followed by a 5-min cool down, a 1-min wash with ddH2O, and then transferred to 1X PBS. Tissues were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in 1X PBS for 30-mins, washed thrice with 1X... View More

Product Specific Information
Description: The monoclonal antibody DE-U-10 recognizes desmin. Desmin is the protein subunit of class-III intermediate filaments. Desmin is found predominantly in skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Desmin plays a role in muscle cell development and differentiation, muscle cell architecture and structure, and mitochondrial function. Desmin forms scaffolds around the Z-disk of sarcomeres in muscle cells. Desmin knockout mice exhibit defects in skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle and have impaired mitochondrial function. Mutations in Desmin result in conditions such as desmin-related myopathy (DRM), cardiomyopathy dilated type 1I (CMD1I), and neurogenic scapuloperoneal syndrome Kaeser type (Kaeser syndrome).
The DE-U-10 antibody recognizes human, mouse, rat, feline, bovine, goat, hamster, sheep, porcine, rabbit, and chicken desmin. The DE-U-10 antibody will also label tumors derived from muscle tissue, such as leiomyomas and rhabdomyosarcomas.
Applications Reported: This DE-U-10 antibody has been reported for use in western blotting, immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections, microscopy, and immunocytochemistry.
Applications Tested: This DE-U-10 antibody has been tested by immunohistochemical staining of formalin-fixed paraffin embedded human tissue using high pH antigen retrieval and can be used at 10 µg/mL. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
Using conjugate solutions: Centrifuge the protein conjugate solution briefly in a microcentrifuge before use; add only the supernatant to the experiment. This step will help eliminate any protein aggregates that may have formed during storage, thereby reducing nonspecific background staining.
Target Information
Desmin (approximately 53 kDa) exhibits a high degree of tissue specificity, its expression being predominantly confined to all types of muscle cells (cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle). Regulation of desmin expression is stage and tissue-specific, since it is induced during terminal development of, for example, skeletal muscle cell differentiation. In skeletal en cardiac muscle cells desmin is localized in the Z-disk region and at the intercalated disk. The expression pattern of desmin in smooth muscle is much more heterogenous. Coexpression of vimentin and desmin has been observed in tumors derived from muscle tissue, i.e. rhabdomyosarcomas and leiomyosarcomas. Furthermore, during myocard dysfunction dramatic changes in the distribution of desmin have been observed.
