ihcDirect® Calponin Kit

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The ihcDirect® Calponin Kit is designed for tissue-based diagnostics, specifically for identifying calponin in smooth muscle and myoepithelial cells using immunohistochemistry (IHC). It is available in two package sizes for approximately 50 or 100 tests.
Specifications: The kit includes a polymerized horseradish peroxidase (polyHRP) labeled anti-calponin antibody (Clone C126). It is intended for in vitro diagnostic use on formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) or frozen tissue sections. The antibody is pre-diluted and optimized for IHC use.
Storage Instructions: Store the kit at 4°C upon receipt. Do not freeze.
Intended Use: The kit is used to qualitatively identify calponin in tissue sections by light microscopy. It is crucial for the clinical interpretation to be complemented by morphological studies and evaluated within the context of the patient's clinical history and other diagnostic tests.
Summary and Explanation: Calponin is a 34kD polypeptide involved in smooth muscle contraction and is expressed in smooth muscle tissue and myoepithelial cells. The antibody serves as a marker for the differentiated contractile phenotype of developing smooth muscle and aids in differentiating benign sclerosing lesions of the breast from carcinoma. The kit includes an ihc Blocker to reduce background staining and uses Chromogen 3,3’diaminobenzidine (DAB).

ihcDirect® Calponin Kit-1

Revolutionizing tissue-based diagnostics ihcDirect® Calponin Kit Anti-Human Calponin (Clone C126) Colon Using Frozen Tissue Breast Using FFPE Tissue Catalog Number: K41026-XXX: Package Size: (XXX) -005: For ~50 IHC Tests using frozen or FFPE tissues -010: For ~100 IHC Tests using frozen or FFPE tissues Store at 4°C upon receiving. DO NOT FREEZE. ihcDirect Calponin is a polymerized horseradish peroxidase (polyHRP) labeled anti-calponin antibody (Clone C126) intended for laboratory use to qualitatively identify by light microscopy the presence of calponin in contractile smooth muscle and myoepithelial cells in sections of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue or frozen tissue sections using immunohistochemistry (IHC) test method. 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 and proper controls interpreted by a qualified pathologist and/or physician. This conjugate has been pre-diluted and optimized for IHC use without further dilution. Summary and Explanation: ihcDirect Calponin Kit (Clone C126) immunohistochemistry (IHC) reagent is for use on frozen and formalin-fixedparaffin-embedded tissues. Antibody (Clone C126) reacts with calponin, which is a 34kD polypeptide that interacts with actin, tropomyosin, and calmodulin. Calponin is involved in smooth muscle contraction mechanisms and is expressed in smooth muscle tissue. It is also observed in myoepithelial cells. The calponin antibody may be used as a marker of the differentiated contractile phenotype of developing smooth muscle and to help differentiate benign sclerosing lesions of the breast from carcinoma. The ihc Blocker provided in the kit used prior to applying pHRP Calponin conjugate can reduce background and nonspecific staining. Chromogen 3,3’diaminobenzidine (DAB) is used in this kit. www.novodiax.com [email protected] [email protected] 3517 Breakwater Ave Hayward, CA 94545, USA Phone: +1 (888) 439-2716 EMERGO EUROPE Prinsessegracht 20 2514 AP The Hague The Netherla
