Form:Supplied as liquid tissue culture supernatant in 15mM sodium azide
Specificity:Reacts with an 18kD rod piece of the intermediate filament protein desmin (53kD) in muscle cells. The antibody does not appear to recognize other intermediate filament proteins. In normal tissues, Clone DE-RII reacts with both striated (skeletal and cardiac) and smooth muscle cells. The labeling is confined to the Z bands in skeletal and cardiac muscle giving a characteristic striated appearance.. Species Crossreactivity: canine, guinea pig, chicken, mouse, hamster, human and rat
