  IF Staining of mouse small intestine using CL488-16520

  Adult mouse small intestine was co-stained with desmin (CL488-16520, in cyan), E-cadherin (20874-1-AP, in red), and PCNA (60097-1-Ig, in green). Desmin marks the stromal cells and smooth muscle, E-cadherin marks the gut epithelial cells, and PCNA marks proliferating cells. The image was created in paid partnership with @Immunofluorescence on Instagram.

  IF Staining of rat heart using CL488-16520

  Immunofluorescent analysis of (4% PFA) fixed rat heart tissue using CoraLite® Plus 488 Desmin antibody (CL488-16520) at dilution of 1:100.

  IF Staining of mouse heart using CL488-16520

  E14.5 FFPE mouse heart stained for Desmin (green, Cat. No CL488-16520) and PCNA (red, Cat. No 60097-1-Ig). Desmin was conjugated to CoraLite-488 fluorescent dye and stains cardiomyocytes (heart muscle cells). PCNA stains proliferating cells, which are numerous in the developing heart. In this image, the four chambers of the heart can be easily visualized. Image credit: @Immunofluorescence on Instagram.

Background Information

Desmin is the main intermediate filament protein in skeletal and cardiac muscle cells and is essential for both the structural integrity and the survival of muscle cells. As an abundant muscle-specific protein, desmin has been widely used as a marker of muscle derived tumors. Anti-desmin is also valuable in the differential diagnosis of tumors of uncertain origin.
