  - Tubulin antibody [YOL1/34] - Microtubule Marker (ab6161)

Western blot against tubulin with ab6161 at 1/3000.  Secondary Rabbit anti-Rat IgG HRP (ab6734)was used at 1/2000.  Exposure time: 2mins.

Lane 1: 20µg/lane HeLa (Human) whole cell lysates (ab7898).

Lane 2: 20µg/lane 3T3 (Mouse) whole cell lysate (ab7901).

Lane 3: 20µg/lane Rat brain tissue lysate (ab7942).

  - Tubulin antibody [YOL1/34] - Microtubule Marker (ab6161)

Cultured human macrophages were used with ab6161 at 1/1000 for immunofluorescence. Cells were fixed with cold 2% formaldehyde for 20mins.

Green staining is Alexa 568, Blue staining is DAPI stain.

This cell represents a young macrophage, the staining patterns varied as the cells aged in culture.

  Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Tubulin antibody [YOL1/34] - Microtubule Marker (ab6161)

ICC/IF image of ab6161 stained human HepG2 cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 min), permabilised in 0.1% PBS-Tween (20 min) and incubated with the antibody (ab6161, 1µg/ml) for 1h at room temperature. 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine was used to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rat IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue). This antibody also gave a positive IF result in HeLa, HEK 293 and MCF7 cells.

ab6161 staining mouse NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells by ICC/IF. Cells were PFA fixed  and permeabilized in 0.2% Triton X-100 prior to blocking in 5% BSA for 45 minutes at RT.  The primary antibody was diluted 1/1000 and incubated with the sample for 1 hour.  An Alexa Fluor® 568 conjugated goat anti-rat antibody, diluted 1/3000, was used as the secondary.

  Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Tubulin antibody [YOL1/34] - Microtubule Marker (ab6161)

ICC/IF image of ab6161 stained Hela cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab6161, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was DyLight® 488 goat anti-rat- H&L, pre-adsorbed (ab98420) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab6161 (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 (ab6161, 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.
