Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ELISA: Use at an assay dependant dilution.
ICC: 1/100. For ICC, we recommend not only fixing but also permeabilizing the cells.
IHC-P: Use at a concentration of 2 µg/ml. Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA buffer pH 9.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol.
IF: Use at an assay dependant dilution.
IP: Use at an assay dependant dilution. Ab7749 (TU-16)is better for IP application.
WB: Use at an assay dependant dilution. Detects a band of approximately 55 kDa.

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

Relevance 

Tubulin is the major building block of microtubules. This intracellular cylindrical filamentous structure is present in almost all eukaryotic cells. Microtubules function as structural and mobile elements in mitosis, intracellular transport, flagellar movement and in the cytoskeleton. Tubulin is a heterodimer which consists of alpha tubulin and beta tubulin.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections)-alpha Tubulin antibody [TU-01](ab7750)

Ab7750 staining human normal skin. Staining is localised to the cytoplasm.
Left panel: with primary antibody at 2 ug/ml. Right panel: isotype control.
Sections were stained using an automated system DAKO Autostainer Plus , at room temperature. Sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3-in-1 antigen retrieval buffer EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 minutes. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 minutes and detected with Dako Envision Flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.
