Mouse anti β tubulin

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United Kingdom

Mouse anti-β-tubulin is a primary antibody that specifically binds to the beta-tubulin protein. Beta-tubulin is a major component of the cytoskeleton and is involved in the formation of microtubules. This antibody can be used to detect and visualize beta-tubulin in various cell and tissue samples using techniques such as immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry.

For preparation of total protein parasite extracts, 1 × 10 7 epimastigotes were harvested by centrifugation at 1000 × g and disrupted with the addition of 5 × SDS-PAGE loading buffer (5 × SB). Clarified lysates and insoluble fractions from parasites were prepared as follows: 1 × 10 7 pelleted epimastigotes were resuspended in icecold PBS, disrupted by sonication (four pulses of 20 s each) and centrifuged at 20,000 ×g for 20 min. The fractions obtained (cytoplasmic supernatant and membranous pellet) were mixed separately with 5× SB in order to reach the same final volume for each sample. The different protein extracts were loaded onto 12% SDS-PAGE polyacrylamide gels and subjected to electrophoresis. Gels were transferred to nitrocellulose membranes and proteins detected using mouse monoclonal anti-HA (clone 16B12, Covance), mouse anti-β tubulin (Life Technologies), rabbit polyclonal anti-GFP or rabbit polyclonal anti-TcCyp19 antibodies (the last two kindly provided by Dr. Jaqueline Búa, ANLIS/Malbrán Institutes, Argentina). Horseradish peroxidase-conjugated goat anti-mouse or goat anti-rabbit IgGs (Calbiochem) were used as secondary antibodies. All antibodies were used at 1:1000 dilutions in 3% bovine serum albumin in PBS (BSA-PBS) and detected with ECL™ chemiluminescence kit (GE Healthcare), according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Activation of the hIR was assessed by immunoblotting as previously described54 (link). L6 myoblasts overexpressing IR-A were stimulated with 10 nM insulin or mini-Ins for different times. Cell lysates were subjected to reducing 10 % SDS-PAGE, transferred to nitrocellulose and immunoblotted with the PathScan® Multiplex Western Cocktail I (Cell Signaling Technology #5301) against pAkt (Ser473), pERK1/2 (Thr202, Tyr204) and mouse anti-β-tubulin (Invitrogen #32–2600). Total Akt and ERK1/2 levels do not change over the time course measured (not shown). The β-tubulin was used as a loading control and pAkt and pERK1/2 were normalized against this control. Quantification of the blots was achieved using the Image Studio Lite quantification software. Activation was expressed as a percentage of the response to insulin at 10 min.

Immunostaining was performed to examine morphological changes in the neuronal cytoskeletal and synaptic proteins of cortical neurons cultured for 3 days and 10 days, respectively. Neurons were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and 15% picric acid for 1 h at room temperature. Permeabilization of fixed cultures was performed by incubation for 1 h in incubation media containing 5% goat serum and 0.1% Triton X. Cells were then incubated with primary antibodies rabbit anti-synaptophysin (1:500, Abcam) and mouse anti-PSD95 (1:2,000; NeuroMab) to study the development of synaptic proteins. Primary antibodies were applied at 4°C overnight. Following 3× wash with 1× PBS, secondary antibodies AlexaFluor 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (1:200; Invitrogen) and AlexaFluor 546 goat anti-mouse IgG (1:200; Invitrogen) were applied for 1 h at room temperature. Mouse anti-β-tubulin (1:500; Invitrogen) was used to study the development of cytoskeletal proteins. Preparations were washed 3× in 1× PBS and mounted with MOWIOL mounting media. A Zeiss confocal microscope (LSM 510 Meta, Zeiss, Germany) was used to take fluorescence images. Image acquisition parameters such as exposure times, gain settings, laser intensity, pinhole size, etc., remained the same between control and treated cultures.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
