α tubulin mouse antibody

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The α-tubulin mouse antibody is a primary antibody that recognizes the α-tubulin protein, a key component of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. This antibody can be used in various laboratory techniques, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunocytochemistry, to detect and study the distribution and expression of α-tubulin in biological samples.

Total lysates for the immunoblotting analyses were obtained as follows: the primary hippocampal neurons were washed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) and collected by gentle scraping in ice-cold RIPA buffer containing (in mM): 50 Tris pH 7.4, 100 NaCl, 1 EGTA, 1 PMSF, 1 Na3VO4, 1 NaF, 0.5% NP-40, and 0.2% SDS, and supplemented with protease inhibitor cocktail II (Roche Diagnostic, Monza, Italy). The nitrocellulose membranes were incubated with the following antibodies: rabbit KV2.1 antibody (1:1000, Alomone Labs, Jerusalem, Israel), mouse α-tubulin antibody (1:5000, Sigma-Aldrich, Milan, Italy), and anti-β-actin peroxidase (1:10,000, Sigma-Aldrich, Milan, Italy). The immunoreactive bands were detected with the chemiluminescence system (GE Healthcare, Milan, Italy). The films were developed with a standard photographic procedure, and the quantitative analysis of the bands detected was carried out by densitometric scanning.

Microtubule and sarcomere structure were profiled in cells fixed in paraformaldehyde (4%) for 15 min, followed by 10 min permeabilization with Triton X-100 (0.1%). SuperBlock™ phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) was used for blocking procedure and antibody dilution (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA). The cells were incubated overnight (4°C) with mouse α-tubulin antibody (Millipore Sigma, St Louis, MO, USA) and phalloidin conjugated with Alexa Fluor 633 (Thermo Fisher Scientific), followed by a 2 hour incubation in secondary anti-mouse antibody conjugated with Alexa Fluor 488 (Thermo Fisher Scientific). VCMs were imaged using a Nikon A1R inverted confocal microscope with a ×60/1.4 NA oil-immersion objective (Nikon, Melville, NY, USA).
The free and polymerized tubulin fractions were isolated from snap frozen hearts as in Belanto et al. (2016) (link), with western blots for α-tubulin and its detyrosinated form (i.e., glu-tubulin, the enzymatic removal of the C-terminal tyrosine yielding a terminal glutamate), as described (Kerr et al. 2015 (link)).

The hypothalamus was homogenized in the lysis buffer (10 mM HEPES, 10 mM KCl, 1.5 mM MgCl2, 12% glycerol, 0.5 mM DTT, 0.1 mM EGTA) with a cocktail of protease inhibitors (Sigma Aldrich). Proteins (20 or 40 μg/lane) were separated on 12% SDS-PAGE and transferred to nitrocellulose membranes. The blots were incubated with AMPKα rabbit monoclonal antibody (Cell Signaling Technology; dil 1:1000), pAMPKα (Thr172) rabbit monoclonal antibody (Cell Signaling Technology; dil 1:1000), IKK-β rabbit monoclonal antibody (Abcam; dil 1:500) or α-tubulin mouse antibody (Sigma Aldrich; dil 1:1000) overnight at 4°C and then with secondary antibody against rabbit or mouse IgG (Promega; dil 1:2500) for 1 h at RT. The signals were visualized with the ECL system (Pierce). The expression level of α-tubulin was used to normalize the data.

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.
