ICC/IF image of ab6160 stained HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells.

The cells were fixed in 100% methanol 5 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then incubated in 1% BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1 hour to block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab6160, 1/1000 dilution) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was ab150165 Alexa Fluor^® 488 goat anti-rat IgG (H+L) pre-adsorbed, used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1 hour. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43μM.

The negative control (inset) is a secondary-only assay to demonstrate low non-specific binding of the secondary antibody.

This product also gave a positive signal under the same testing conditions in HeLa cells fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 minutes).

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, L-arginine and sodium azide (ab6160).

Overlay histogram showing HeLa (Human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells stained with ab6160 (red line).

The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 minutes) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 minutes. 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, 1 μg/1x10⁶ cells) for 30 minutes at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight^® 488 goat anti-rat IgG (H+L) (ab98386) at 1/500 dilution for 30 minutes at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rat IgG2a [aRTK2758] (ab18450, 1 μg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions.

Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, L-arginine and sodium azide (ab6160).

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Tubulin antibody [YL1/2] - BSA and Azide free (AB264519)

IHC image of Tubulin staining in human colon formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section*, performed on a Leica Bond™ system using the standard protocol F.

The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer pH 6 for 20 minutes. The section was then incubated with ab6160, 5 μg/ml, for 15 minutes at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

Supplementary information

Tubulin sometimes called DM1B is a globular protein essential for the formation of microtubules. It has a molecular mass of approximately 55 kDa. Tubulin is expressed in most eukaryotic cells and exists as two closely related subunits alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin. These subunits polymerize to form linear microtubule structures. Anti-tubulin antibodies such as anti-tubulin Alexa 34 can detect these microtubule markers in cells allowing researchers to visualize cytoskeletal organization.

Biological function summary

This core component of microtubule assembly is important for maintaining cell shape enabling intracellular transport and segregating chromosomes during cell division. As part of a complex tubulin interacts with various microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) that regulate its dynamic assembly and disassembly. This regulation is important for processes like axonal transport in neurons and the movement of cilia and flagella in other cell types.

Pathways

Tubulin plays a significant role in the mitotic spindle assembly part of the cell cycle. This process is vital for the accurate segregation of chromosomes to daughter cells. Tubulin interacts with the kinesin and dynein motor proteins within this pathway which are essential for intracellular transport and mitosis. Another key pathway involving tubulin is the intracellular trafficking facilitated by motor proteins which is necessary for maintaining cell homeostasis and function.

Aberrant regulation or mutations in tubulin can lead to conditions such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer altered tubulin dynamics contribute to uncontrolled cell proliferation. Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease show involvement with tubulin through abnormal microtubule stability often linked to the MAP tau protein. Anti-tubulin antibodies including LAMP1 can help in research related to these conditions by offering methods to study tubulin distribution and function in diseased cells.

Target data

Tubulin is the major constituent of microtubules, a cylinder consisting of laterally associated linear protofilaments composed of alpha- and beta-tubulin heterodimers (PubMed : 34996871). Microtubules grow by the addition of GTP-tubulin dimers to the microtubule end, where a stabilizing cap forms (PubMed : 34996871). Below the cap, tubulin dimers are in GDP-bound state, owing to GTPase activity of alpha-tubulin (PubMed : 34996871).
