Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ICC/IF: 1/500 - 1/1000.
WB: 1/500. Detects a band of approximately 46 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 46 kDa). It is strongly recommended that immunoprecipitation with a pan-specific Aurora antibody be carried out before Western blotting with the phospho-specific antibody to increase signal. Weak non specific bands can be sometimes observed above the band of interrest. A large non specific band is also present just above 32kDa.


Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Positive control 
(see definition)

Nocadozole-arrested HeLa cell lysate immunoprecipitate with a pan-Aurora A monoclonal antibody (clone 35C1)(ab13824)

Cellular localization 

Localizes on centrosomes in interphase cells and at each spindle pole in mitosis

Cancer >> Cell cycle >> Cell division
Signal Transduction >> Protein Phosphorylation >> Ser / Thr Kinases >> Aurora
Cell Biology >> Cell Cycle >> Cell Division >> Spindle

Relevance 

Aurora A plays a role in cell cycle regulation during anaphase and/or telophase, in relation to the function of the centrosome/spindle pole region during chromosome segregation. Aurora A plays a key role during tumor development and progression and is overexpressed in many human cancers including breast, ovarian and colorectal. Aurora A is viewed as a potential target for anticancer drug treatment.

Notes 

Hela cells were synchronized to M phase using nocadazole (18 hrs treatment). Mitotic shake-off cells were used to prepare extracts. For a 10 cm2 dish (approximately 80% confluent, about 60% in M-phase), typically 2-4 lanes would be loaded for Western blot. Phosphorylated Aurora A can be difficult to detect, you may want to IP first with pan-Aurora A before blotting with the phospho-specific antibody.

Extracts from untreated Hela cells (Lane 1) or overnight nocodazole-treated Hela cells (Lane 2) were immunoprecipitated with a pan-Aurora A monoclonal antibody (clone 35C1) (available as ab13824), resolved by electrophoresis, transferred to nitrocellulose and probed with rabbit polyclonal antibody against Thr288 phosphorylated Aurora A (ab18318). Proteins were visualized using a donkey anti-rabbit secondary conjugated to HRP (available as ab16284), and a chemiluminescence detection system

The blot shown above was stripped and reprobed with pan-Aurora specific polyclonal antibody (available as ab12875) to verify equal loading of Aurora A in the extracts. Proteins were visualized using a donkey anti-rabbit secondary conjugated to HRP (available as ab16284)and a chemiluminescence detection system.

Prometaphase HeLa cells were permaeabiliased in 0.2% Triton-X100 and fixed for 10 minutes at room temperature in 4% formaldehyde. The cells were washed 3 times in PBS and incubated with ab18318 (1/1000) for 1 hour at room temperature. The panel of images shows the nuceli stained with DAPI (blue) and the centromeres stained with ab18318 (green). 100x magnification.
