Human alpha-Smooth Muscle Actin PE-conjugated Antibody

Detection of alpha ‑Smooth Muscle Actin in Human Blood Monocytes by Flow Cytometry.

Human peripheral blood monocytes were stained with Mouse Anti-Human a-Smooth Muscle Actin PE-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # IC1420P, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # IC003P, open histogram). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with Flow Cytometry Fixation Buffer (Catalog # FC004) and permeabilized with Flow Cytometry Permeabilization/Wash Buffer I (Catalog # FC005).

SMC marker expression after expansion in different media. (a) Histograms of flow cytometric surface marker expression (grey) of CD13, CD14, CD31, CD44, CD45, CD73, CD90, and CD140b on single live cells at passage three or four identified according to the gating strategy shown in Supplementary Fig. S2. Marker expression is given in comparison to the unstained control (white). (b) Gene expression level of SMC marker in isolated cells at passage one or two, normalized to the expression of the housekeeping gene RPL13A. Values of the individual donors are shown as points superimposed onto the boxplots. Expansion medium of each donor is given in brackets; D - DMEM, M - M199, S - supplements (FGF, EGF, insulin, ascorbic acid), VL - VascuLife.
