Monoclonal Mouse Anti-Human

Myosin Heavy Chain (Smooth Muscle)

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.

Isotype IgG1, kappa

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.

Breast invasive ductal carcinoma with ductal carcinoma in situ. The myoepithelial cells in the ductal carcinoma in situ show decreased expression of smooth muscle heavy chain myosin, while the staining is absent or disrupted in the invasive areas.

Clinical application for IR066/IS066 For identification of myoepithelial cells in the breast, and for identification of smooth muscle neoplasm.

Uterus. Smooth muscle cells of the myometrium show a moderate to strong staining reaction.

Recommended control for IR066/IS066. Uterus/Appendix.

Appendix. Smooth muscle cells in muscle layers and blood vessels show a moderate to strong cytoplasmic staining reaction. The epithelial cells should be negative.

Recommended control for IR066/IS066. Uterus/Appendix.
