Description

The Human α-Smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) ELISA Kit can quantitatively detect the content of α-SMA in human serum, urine, or tissue homogenates. This assay employs the sandwich ELISA mechanism and enzyme-substrate chromogenic reaction to achieve the measurement. The solution develops in proportion to the amount of α-SMA in the sample. And the color intensity can be measured at 450 nm through a microplate reader. The kit has undergone rigorous quality validation in many aspects, including sensitivity, specificity, precision, recovery, linearity, and consistency between batches.

Due to its absence in fibroblasts of normal hearts, α-SMA is the definitive marker for the activated myofibroblasts in hypertrophic and fibrotic hearts and heart failure in humans. α-SMA is also considered not only a mediator of traction forces in contractile myofibroblasts, but also a component of the global mechanotransduction system. The study of Arti V.Shinde etc. has shown that α-SMA knockdown attenuates serum-induced contraction of fibroblast-populated collagen pads. And α-SMA overexpression reduces pad contraction, attenuating fibroblast proliferative activity.

 Q&A
Q:

Hello.
I would like to know if CSB-E09343h can be used for detecting alpha SMA in cell culture lysates?

A:
Thanks for your inquiry.
Usually we suggest you test the sample types mentioned in the manual. You can do a pretest if you want to test cell culture lysates.
Q:

Do we need to prepare serum samples in any specific way? for the ELISA assay of aSMA?

A:

For serum samples, no special handling is required. In the collection and preparation of serum samples, to avoid hemolysis, SST tubes are generally used.
