Antigen description
The microtubules are intracellular dynamic polymers made up of evolutionarily conserved polymorphic alpha/beta-tubulin heterodimers and a large number of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). The microtubules consist of 13 protofilaments and have an outer diameter 25 nm. Microtubules have their intrinsic polarity; highly dynamic plus ends and less dynamic minus ends. Microtubules are required for vital processes in eukaryotic cells including mitosis, meiosis, maintenance of cell shape and intracellular transport. Microtubules are also necessary for movement of cells by means of flagella and cilia. In mammalian tissue culture cells microtubules have their minus ends anchored in microtubule organizing centers (MTOCs). The GTP (guanosintriphosphate) molecule is an essential for tubulin heterodimer to associate with other heterodimers to form microtubule. In vivo, microtubule dynamics vary considerably. Microtubule polymerization is reversible and a populations of microtubules in cells are on their minus ends either growing or shortening – this phenomenon is called dynamic instability of microtubules. On a practical level, microtubules can easily be stabilized by the addition of non-hydrolysable analogues of GTP (eg. GMPPCP) or more commonly by anti-cancer drugs such as Taxol. Taxol stabilizes microtubules at room temperature for many hours. Using limited proteolysis by enzymes both tubulin subunits can be divided into N-terminal and C-terminal structural domains. The beta-tubulin (relative molecular weight around 50 kDa) is counterpart of alpha-tubulin in tubulin heterodimer. It is coded by multiple tubulin genes and it is also posttranslationally modified. Heterogeneity of subunit is concentrated in C-terminal structural domain.

Anti-beta-Tubulin Purified (TU-06) works in WB application under reducing conditions on RIPA cell extracts.

Western blotting analysis was performed on whole cell extracts (RIPA lysis buffer) of HeLa, HEK 293, ESS-1 and Jurkat cell lines mixed and heated (100°C, 5 min) with reducing (2-mercaptoethanol) or non-reducing SDS-loading buffer. Samples were resolved using 12% SDS-PAGE gel.

Nitrocellulose membrane blot was probed simultaneously with mouse IgM monoclonal antibody TU-06 (1 µg/ml) and mouse IgG1 anti-GAPDH monoclonal antibody FF26A (1 µg/ml) used as the loading control. Subclass-specific secondary antibodies IRDye 680RD Goat-anti-Mouse IgM (red) and IRDye 800CW Goat-anti-Mouse IgG (green) were used for multiplex fluorescent Western blot detection.

Alpha-tubulin was detected at ~50 kDa in all tested cell lines under reducing, but not under non- reducing conditions. Using RIPA lysis buffer in combination with non-reducing conditions is not suitable for Anti-beta-Tubulin Purified (TU-06).

Immunocytochemistry staining of 3T3 mouse embryonal fibroblast cell line using anti-beta-tubulin (TU-06) (detection by Goat anti-mouse IgM Cy®5). Nucleus is stained with DAPI (blue).
11-251_IHC
Immunohistochemistry staining of human heart (paraffin sections) using anti-beta tubulin (TU-06). Commercially tested by LifeSpan BioSciences.
11-251_WB
Western blotting analysis of human beta-tubulin using mouse monoclonal antibody TU-06 on lysates (50 mM TRIS-Cl pH 6.8, 4M UREA, 4% SDS) of various cell lines under non-reducing and reducing conditions. Nitrocellulose membrane was probed with 2 µg/ml of mouse anti-beta-tubulin monoclonal antibody followed by IRDye800-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody. A specific band was detected for beta-tubulin at approximately 54 kDa.
