Caldesmon Histology Assay Kit (CAT#: ITS-1122-ZP4490)

Caldesmon is a regulatory protein found in smooth muscle and other tissues which interacts with actin, myosin, tropomyosin, and calmodulin. Also, it is useful in differentiation of smooth muscle from my ofibroblast tumors, uterus leiomyoma from endometrial stroma tumor. Caldesmon is a marker for identification of epitheloid mesothelioma.

Creative Biolabs control slides are prepared using top quality tissues that have been processed, embedded and sectioned following standard operating procedure. We provide the following antigen (tissue) controls:
- Positive control: a section from a tissue known to express the protein of interest.
- Negative control: a section from a tissue known not to express the target antigen.
- Endogenous tissue background control: a section from the tissue that doesn't have a primary antibody applied.

Creative Biolabs also offers biospecimen including formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks, fresh or snap frozen tissue blocks, tissue microarray (TMA) slides. Please contact us to request a customized price quotation.

Tissue Fixative Solution (Specified, depends on antigen type and tissue source)
Tissue Processing Kit (Includes specialized media for tissue collection, isolation, and dissociation)
Tissue Embedding Media
Tissue Staining Kit (Optional)

The IHC detection kit contains all the components needed to detect target protien present in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue samples. Creative Biolabs offers the complete and cusom IHC kit to choose from, giving you the ultimate flexibility in planning your Immunohistochemistry protocol.

* A complete kit to detect a Primary Antibody
Antibody Diluent Solution using HRP-labeled-streptavidin and a biotinylated secondary antibody.
# Chromogenic counterstains are used when the Primary Antibody
Antibody Diluent Solution is visualized using HRP or alkaline phospatase combined with DAB, AEC, or similar enzyme substrates. The traditional combination is HRP/DAB with hematoxylin to stain nuclei. Eosin, for cytoplasmic staining, is often used in combination with hematoyxolin.
& DoubleStain is designed for user to detect two distinct antigens on human tissue.
% Special Stain Kit are used to stain certain cell types, microorganisms, and specific proteins, carbohydrates and metabolites found in the tissue matrix and within cells.

Superior multiplex IHC kit is designed for efficient detection of multiple antigens in a single tissue sample.
- Biotin-free nanopolymer-based system for superior multiplex antigen detection
- Complete kit includes for sensitive, crisp 2-color development
- Preserves precious tissue while reducing reagent and labor costs
- Expandable with additional chromogens (sold separately)

The anti-Caldesmon antibody included in the kit is extensively tested and validated for immunohistochemistry applications on human or animal tissues using standard detection methods and procedures-resulting in low background signal, high detection sensitivities, and no cross-reactivity issues.
Use our directly conjugated primary antibodies to speed up and simplify the IHC protocol as they omit the need for a secondary antibody staining step. Our primary conjugates are recombinantly engineered to provide high specificity and batch-to-batch consistency. If your antibody of choice is not available in a suitable conjugated format, you can
Use our antibody conjugation kits.
