Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human
Smooth Muscle Myosin Heavy Chain
Clone SMMS-1
Reacts with smooth muscle cells and myoepithelial cells, but not with myofibroblasts.
The antibody may be useful for the study of breast tumors as the presence of an intact layer of myoepithelial cells is an important feature which may distinguish benign breast lesions and carcinoma in situ from invasive tumors.
Breast hyperplasia (FFPE) stained with FLEX Anti-Myosin Heavy Chain (Smooth Muscle), Code IR066/IS066.
Breast hyperplasia. The myoepithelial cells around the ducts and the smooth muscle cells in the vessel walls show a strong staining reaction.
Clinical application for IR066/IS066 For identification of myoepithelial cells in the breast, and for identification of smooth muscle neoplasm.
Disclaimer: Due to variances among color computer monitors, the colors you see on your screen may not be the exact colors of the stain. The image you see should be considered close renditions to the actual stain.
- Optimized staining performance of both high- and low-expression structures
- Crisp and clear staining with no background
- Optimal laboratory efficiency with ready-to-use antibodies on Dako Autostainer Link 48
FLEX Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human Smooth Muscle Myosin Heavy Chain, Clone SMMS-1, Ready-to-Use (Link), is intended for use in immunohistochemistry together with Autostainer Link instruments. This antibody is useful for the identification of breast myoepithelial cells. Myoepithelial cells are generally present in breast hyperplasia and ductal carcinoma in situ, and absent in invasive breast carcinoma (1-5). The clinical interpretation of any staining or its absence should be complemented by morphological studies using proper controls and should be evaluated within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests by a qualified pathologist.
