Source
A mouse was immunized with desmin isolated from human leiomyoma. Antibody producing cells were isolated, after fusing the spleen cells of this mouse with myeloma cells, capable of staining muscle cells in thin sections.

Specification
The antibody does stain muscle cells in human tissue. On immunoblots only the 52 kDa desmin band is stained (ref. 1).
