Desmin serves as a critical intermediate filament protein that maintains the structural integrity of muscle cells, forming a network that connects myofibrils to each other and to the plasma membrane. As a key marker for muscle differentiation and a protein implicated in various myopathies and cardiac disorders, desmin detection is essential for researchers investigating muscle biology, cardiomyopathy mechanisms, and tissue development.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated against a synthetic peptide derived from human desmin, offers the consistency and reproducibility that demanding research applications require. The recombinant format ensures sequence-defined specificity and eliminates the lot-to-lot variability often encountered with traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies, giving you confidence that your results will remain comparable across extended studies.
Validation across multiple experimental platforms demonstrates this antibody's versatility in your workflow. Western blot analysis of mouse heart tissue and rat heart lysate reveals clean detection of desmin at the expected 54 kDa molecular weight, confirming accurate target recognition. For tissue-based studies, immunohistochemistry has been validated in paraffin-embedded human skeletal muscle and prostate cancer tissue using citrate buffer antigen retrieval, producing reliable staining patterns. Immunofluorescence applications have been confirmed in HepG2 cells, enabling subcellular localization studies of desmin expression.
With demonstrated cross-species reactivity spanning human, mouse, and rat samples, this antibody supports comparative studies and translational research models. The broad application compatibility across ELISA, western blot, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence makes it a practical choice for laboratories investigating signal transduction pathways, muscle pathologies, or tumor microenvironment characterization where desmin expression patterns provide meaningful biological insights.
