Desmin antibody [D33] is a monoclonal antibody commonly used in immunohistochemistry to identify and detect desmin, a type of intermediate filament protein found predominantly in muscle cells. Desmin plays a crucial role in maintaining the structural integrity of muscle tissue and is essential for muscle contraction. The antibody labeled as [D33] specifically binds to desmin, allowing for the visualization of desmin-positive cells and tissues under a microscope. This antibody is often employed in the diagnosis of various muscle-related disorders, including myopathies, and helps differentiate between muscle tumors and other types of cancers. Additionally, it is valuable in studying the role of desmin in muscle development and disease, as well as in identifying abnormalities in muscle structure. The [D33] antibody is a critical tool for researchers and clinicians in understanding muscle pathology and providing accurate diagnostics.
