Background of ACTA1
Actin, a highly conserved protein, is a major component of both the cytoskeletal and contractile structures in the cell types. It varies in amount, being related to the type of differentiation and to the functional state of cells and tissues. The actins exhibit over 90% sequence homology, but each isoform has a unique NH2-terminal sequence. The isoforms are comprised of three alpha-actin, one beta-actin, two gamma-actin. Because the amino acid sequence of the C-terminal is the same for almost all actins, this antibody has been raised using a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal 11 residues.
Antibody Validation
Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

Figure 1. Western blot analysis of Actin using anti-Actin antibody (PB9751).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.

After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-Actin antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # PB9751) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for Actin at approximately 42 kDa. The expected band size for Actin is at 42 kDa.

Question
We are currently using anti-Actin/ACTA1 antibody PB9751 for human tissue, and we are happy with the WB results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, mouse, rat. Is it true that the antibody can work on canine tissues as well?
A. Li
Verified customer
Asked: 2016-01-06
Answer
The anti-Actin/ACTA1 antibody (PB9751) has not been validated for cross reactivity specifically with canine tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in canine you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Question
We ordered your anti-Actin/ACTA1 antibody for WB on skeletal muscle in a previous experiment. I am using human, and We want to use the antibody for IHC next. I am looking for examining skeletal muscle as well as biceps brachii in our next experiment. Could give a recommendation on which antibody would work the best for IHC?
S. Dhar
Verified customer
Asked: 2014-10-23
Answer
I looked at the website and datasheets of our anti-Actin/ACTA1 antibody and it seems that PB9751 has been validated on human in both WB and IHC. Thus PB9751 should work for your application. Our Boster satisfaction guarantee will cover this product for IHC in human even if the specific tissue type has not been validated. We do have a comprehensive range of products for IHC detection and you can check out our website bosterbio.com to find out more information about them.
