Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [EP1332Y] - Microtubule Marker (ab52866)

AJAP1 co-localizes with microtubules in HUVECs

The association of AJAP1 with microtubules in HUVECs is lost upon microtubule destruction. Treatment with 12.5 µM nocodazole for 24 h shows destruction of the microtubule network and loss of AJAP1 tubular localization. For a negative control, HUVECs are treated with DMSO for 24 h. Cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (cyan). Microscope: Zeiss LSM 780; objective lens: 63×/1.40 oil; scale bar: 25 µm.

Incubated overnight at 4°C with ab52866.

Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed HeLa (human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells labeling alpha Tubulin with ab52866 at 1/500 dilution. The cells were permeabilised with 0.1% Triton X-100. Anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor® 488 (ab150077) at 1/400 dilution was used as the secondary antibody (green). The confocal image shows microtubules staining on HeLa cell line. The nuclear counter stain is DAPI (blue). Tubulin is detected with ab7291 (anti-Tubulin mouse mAb) at 1/500 and anti-mouse AlexaFluor® 594 (ab150120) at 1/500 dilution (red).
The negative controls are as follows:
1. ab52866 at 1/500 dilution followed by anti-mouse AlexaFluor® 594 (ab150120) at 1/500 dilution.
2. ab7291 (anti-Tubulin mouse mAb) at 1/500 dilution followed by anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor® 488 (ab150077) at 1/400 dilution.

Immunohistochemistry analysis of paraffin-embedded Pig kidney tissue labeling alpha Tubulin with ab52866 at a 1/1000 dilution. Cytoplasmic staining on Pig kidney tubule and weak on glomerulus shown. Anti-Rabbit HRP (ab97051) used at a 1/100 dilution. Counter stained with Hematoxylin.

Inset image: negative control obtained using PBS instead of ab52866, secondary antibody is Anti-Rabbit HRP (ab97051) at 1/100 dilution.

alpha Tubulin was immunoprecipitated from 1mg of HeLa (human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) whole cell extract using ab52866 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab52866 at 1/1000 dilution. Anti-Rabbit IgG (HRP), specific to the non-reduced form of IgG, was used as secondary antibody at 1/1500 dilution.
Lane 1 Hela whole cell extract, Lane 2 PBS instead of whole cell extract.

Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST. 

Immunohistochemistry analysis of paraffin-embedded Rat kidney tissue labeling alpha Tubulin with ab52866 at a 1/1000 dilution. Cytoplasmic staining on Rat kidney tubule and weak on glomerulus shown. Secondary antibody Anti-Rabbit HRP (ab97051) used at a 1/500 dilution. Counter stained with Hematoxylin.

Inset image: negative control obtained using PBS instead of ab52866, secondary antibody is Anti-Rabbit HRP (ab97051) at 1/500 dilution.

Flow cytometry analysis of 2% paraformaldehyde fixed HepG2 (human liver hepatocellular carcinoma cell line) cells labeling alpha Tubulin with ab52866 at 1/130 dilution (red line). Secondary antibody used is a goat anti rabbit IgG (FITC) at 1/150 dilution. The isotype control is rabbit monoclonal IgG (black line). The unlabeled control is cells without incubation with primary and secondary antibodies (blue line).

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using Licor blocking buffer before being incubated with ab52866 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using Anti-Rabbit Alexa Fluor® 790 (ab175781) at a 1:10,000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature and then imaged using the Licor Odyssey CLx.
