A monoclonal antibody against alpha-smooth muscle actin: a new probe for smooth muscle differentiation
A monoclonal antibody (anti-alpha sm-1) recognizing exclusively alpha-smooth muscle actin was selected and characterized after immunization of BALB/c mice with the NH2-terminal synthetic decapeptide of alpha-smooth muscle actin coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. Anti-alpha sm-1 helped in distinguishing smooth muscle cells from fibroblasts in mixed cultures such as rat dermal fibroblasts and ...
متن کاملA Monoclonal Antibody against a-Smooth Muscle Actin: A New Probe for Smooth Muscle Differentiation
A monoclonal antibody (anti-ctsm-1) recognizing exclusively a-smooth muscle actin was selected and characterized after immunization of BALB/c mice with the NH2-terminal synthetic decapeptide of a-smooth muscle actin coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. Anti-ctsm-1 helped in distinguishing smooth muscle cells from fibroblasts in mixed cultures such as rat dermal fibroblasts and chicken embryo f...
متن کاملA smooth muscle-specific monoclonal antibody recognizes smooth muscle actin isozymes
Injection of chicken gizzard actin into BALB/c mice resulted in the isolation of a smooth muscle-specific monoclonal antibody designated CGA7. When assayed on methanol-Carnoy's fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue, it bound to smooth muscle cells and myoepithelial cells, but failed to decorate striated muscle, endothelium, connective tissue, epithelium, or nerve. CGA7 recognized microfilament bundle...
متن کاملActin cytoskeletal dynamics in smooth muscle: a new paradigm for the regulation of smooth muscle contraction.
A growing body of data supports a view of the actin cytoskeleton of smooth muscle cells as a dynamic structure that plays an integral role in regulating the development of mechanical tension and the material properties of smooth muscle tissues. The increase in the proportion of filamentous actin that occurs in response to the stimulation of smooth muscle cells and the essential role of stimulus...
متن کاملSmooth muscle cells and myofibroblasts use distinct transcriptional mechanisms for smooth muscle alpha-actin expression.
There has been considerable controversy regarding the lineage relationship between smooth muscle cells (SMCs) and myofibroblasts, because they express a number of common cell-selective markers including smooth muscle (SM) alpha-actin. We have shown previously that MCAT elements within the SM alpha-actin promoter confer differential activity in cultured SMCs versus myofibroblasts. In the present...
