Dear histonetters
Does anybody know of a supplier of alpha smooth-muscle-actin (aSMA)
antibody in any animal other than mice?
In our lab we are trying to look at aSMA expression in mice by
immunohistochem but we get a lot of background staining since our primary
(anti-aSMA) antibody is raised in mice. The antibody works fine with other
tissue (human, rat). We are now searching for antibodies raised in other
animals but have had no success so far. Meanwhile we are trying to
optimise our protocol to reduce the background (extra blocking etc), does
anyone have any tips on how best to do this?
