β tubulin antibody

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The β-tubulin antibody is a laboratory research tool used to detect and quantify the β-tubulin protein in various cell and tissue samples. β-tubulin is a key structural component of microtubules, which are essential for various cellular processes such as cell division, intracellular transport, and cell motility. The antibody can be used in techniques like Western blotting, immunocytochemistry, and immunohistochemistry to analyze the expression and distribution of β-tubulin in different experimental systems.

For western-blots we used rabbit polyclonal antibodies against the synthetic peptide within 29–59 N-terminal aa’ of human TREM2 (1:200, Abcam, ab175262, Cambridge, MA) (Ma et al., 2016 (link); Raha et al., 2016 ) and against to the C-terminus of Iba1 (1:500, Wako, Osaka, Japan). TREM2 antibody recognized non-glycosylated/immature (~ 25 kDa) and glycosylated/mature (~ 50 kDa) form (Fig. S1). Loading control was a β-tubulin antibody (1:1000, Millipore, Billerica, MA) (Mufson et al., 2012 (link); Perez et al., 2015 (link)). Aβ plaques and microglia quantitation employed a mouse monoclonal IgG antibody against human APP/Aβ (6E10) (1:2000, BioLegend, San Diego, CA) and a rabbit polycloncal antibody against Iba1 (1:1000, Wako), respectively.

(Santa Cruz, CA). β-tubulin antibody (Cat# 04–1049) was purchased from Millipore (Temecula, CA). The design and synthesis of the synthetic analog of Bryostatin-1, picolog, were conducted according to published methods (Wender et al., 2014 ). The chemical formula of Bryostatin-1 and picolog are presented in Fig.1. Picolog was synthesized by function-oriented synthesis using Bryostatin-1as therapeutic lead in a step-economical fashion. Picolog was found to be the most potent new class of ‘B-Ring’ analog of Bryostatin-1 in terms of PKC activity (Wender et al., 2015 (link)). Bryostatin-1 and picolog were dissolved in DMSO (50µM) and aliquots were stored at −20 °C. Stock solutions were dissolved in culture medium at different concentrations just before each experiment.

Thirty micrograms of different protein fractions from rat tissues were subjected to 10% SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Proteins were transferred to Immobilon polyvinylidene difluoride transfer membranes (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) and blocked for 1 h at room temperature with 5% non-fat milk solution in 0.1% Tween-20-Tris-buffered saline (TBS). Membranes were then incubated overnight with the primary antibody in 0.1% Tween-20-TBS with 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) at 4 °C. Detection was achieved using the enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL) kit for horseradish peroxidase (HRP) (Amersham GE Healthcare Europe GmbH, Barcelona, Spain). To confirm the uniformity of protein loading, the blots were incubated with β-actin or β-tubulin antibody (Sigma-Aldrich, Saint Louis, MO, USA) as a control. The size of the detected proteins was estimated using protein molecular-mass standards (Invitrogen, Life Technologies). Primary antibodies for phosphor- and total-IRE1, ATF6α, phosphor- and total-PERK, and XBP1s proteins were obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnologies (Dallas, TX, USA) and AbCam (Cambridge, UK) as described previously [32 (link)].

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.
