Highlighted Antibody - SMA (Smooth Muscle Actin) Clone BS66
|
PLEASE NOTE: THIS ANTIBODY HAS NOW BEEN DISCONTINUED. We hope to be able to reintroduce this antibody in the near future, but at present it is not available to buy.
Anti-SMA is used for detection of leiomyomatous and myofibroblastic tumours, GIST and mesenchymal tumours.
This antibody to smooth muscle specific alpha actin (SMA) stains actin from Smooth muscle cells, myoepithelial cells and myofibroblasts without cross-reaction with skeletal muscle.
This antibody provides truly optimal staining and as with all our antibodies we provide a 100% guarantee, so trying it really is risk free.
