Anti-Tubulin antibody [YL1/2] - Loading Control (ab6160)

Overview

• Product nameAnti-Tubulin antibody [YL1/2] - Loading ControlSee all Tubulin primary antibodies ...
• Description
  Rat monoclonal [YL1/2] to Tubulin - Loading Control
• SpecificityThis antibody detects the tyrosinated form of the alpha-tubulin subunit. It has equal affinity for fixed microtubules (formaldehyde or glutaraldehyde) and native microtubules. The antibody recognises an extremely short amino acid sequence Glu-Glu-Phe(OH) which can be inserted into the C-terminal domain of fusion proteins.
• Tested applicationsELISA, IHC-Fr, IP, RIA, WB, Flow Cyt, ICC/IF, IHC (PFA fixed), IHC-P, IHC (Methanol fixed) more details
• Species reactivity
  Reacts with: Mouse, Human, Pig, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Xenopus laevis, Caenorhabditis elegans, Fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), Schizosaccharomyces pombe
  Predicted to work with: a wide range of other species, all Mammals
• Immunogen

  Full length native protein (purified) (S. cerevisiae).

• EpitopeA linear sequence requiring an aromatic residue at the C terminus, with the two adjacent amino acids being negatively charged (represented by Gly-Gly-Tyr in Tyr-Tubulin).
• Positive controlThis antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa, NIH 3T3 and PC12 whole cell lysates. In Flow Cytometry, this antibody gave a positive signal in methanol fixed/Tween permeabilised HeLa cells.
• General notesWe can conjugate this antibody to FITC for you (please see ab150204 for details).

  
  

  This antibody can be used as a loading control on Western blots (Allen et al.) and is not detected by anti-mouse Ig secondaries. It has been used in epitope tagging procedures to detect proteins tagged with a C-terminal Gly-Gly-Phe(OH) epitope. Under some circumstances this antibody may cross-react with other protein including E. coli rec A and oxidized actin.

  Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Tubulin antibody [YL1/2] - Loading Control (ab6160)
  This image was kindly supplied as part of the review submitted by Marko Kallio. Ab6160 was used for immunofluorescence on male rat testis samples in order to visualize microtubules of meiotically deviding cells. The samples were fixed with 2% paraformaldehyde and 0.8% glutaraldehyde and the antibody was used at a dilution 1:2500 (red - tubulin, blue - DNA stained with DAPI).

  Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab6160 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab6160, 1µg/1x10⁶ cells) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rat IgG (H+L) (ab98386) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rat IgG2a [aRTK2758] (ab18450, 1µg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.
