Anti-Desmin Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com, this rabbit polyclonal primary antibody targets desmin, a class III intermediate filament protein widely used as a marker for muscle tissue. The reagent is supplied at a 50 µl volume at a working concentration of 1.0 mg/mL, formulated in PBS (pH 7.4) containing 150 mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide, and 50% glycerol, and is unconjugated to allow flexible downstream labeling. It has been validated for Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) applications and shows cross-reactivity with human, mouse, and rat samples. The antibody was raised in rabbit against a synthesized peptide derived from human desmin and subsequently affinity-purified by epitope-specific immunogen affinity chromatography, ensuring specific detection of endogenous levels of total desmin protein. The host species is rabbit, the clonality is polyclonal, and the formulation contains purified rabbit IgG. Upon arrival the vial is shipped at 4 °C; for long-term stability it should be aliquoted and stored at −20 °C, avoiding repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Intended for research use only, this Antibodies.com reagent offers dependable performance in studies of muscle differentiation, cardiac and skeletal muscle pathology, and broader cell biology workflows.
