Scientific Data Images for alpha Tubulin Antibody (PSH02-94)
Immunohistochemistry: alpha Tubulin Antibody (PSH02-94) [NBP3-33139]
Immunohistochemistry: alpha Tubulin Antibody (PSH02-94) [NBP3-33139] - Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human tonsil tissue with Rabbit anti-alpha Tubulin antibody (NBP3-33139) at 1/1,000 dilution.The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) for 20 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (NBP3-33139) at 1/1,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: alpha Tubulin Antibody (PSH02-94) [NBP3-33139]
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: alpha Tubulin Antibody (PSH02-94) [NBP3-33139] - Immunocytochemistry analysis of Daudi cells labeling alpha Tubulin with Rabbit anti-alpha Tubulin antibody (NBP3-33139) at 1/500 dilution.Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 minutes at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in PBS for 5 minutes at room temperature, then blocked with 1% BSA in 10% negative goat serum for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with Rabbit anti-alpha Tubulin antibody (NBP3-33139) at 1/500 dilution in 1% BSA in PBST overnight at 4 ℃. Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (iFluor™ 488) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control. Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
Beta tubulin (red) was stained at 1/100 dilution overnight at +4℃. Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (iFluor™ 594) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution.
Flow Cytometry: alpha Tubulin Antibody (PSH02-94) [NBP3-33139]
Flow Cytometry: alpha Tubulin Antibody (PSH02-94) [NBP3-33139] - Flow cytometric analysis of HeLa cells labeling alpha Tubulin.Cells were fixed and permeabilized. Then stained with the primary antibody (NBP3-33139, 1μg/mL) (red) compared with Rabbit IgG Isotype Control (green). After incubation of the primary antibody at +4℃ for an hour, the cells were stained with a iFluor™ 488 conjugate-Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution for 30 minutes at +4℃. Unlabelled sample was used as a control (cells without incubation with primary antibody; black).

Background: alpha Tubulin
Tyrosine ligase adds a C-terminal tyrosine to monomeric alpha tubulin. Assembled microtubules can again be detyrosinated by a cytoskeleton associated carboxypeptidase. Detyrosinated alpha tubulin is referred to as Glu-tubulin. Another post-translational modification of detyrosinated alpha tubulin is C-terminal polyglutamylation which is characteristic for microtubules in neuronal cells and the mitotic spindle.
Like GAPDH and beta-actin, alpha/beta tubulin is often used as a loading control in immunoblot applications (1). Alpha/beta tubulin is also good for counterstaining microtubules in immunofluorescence (2).
