Antigen description

The betaIII isoform of tubulin is present dominantly in cells of neuronal origin and it is one of the earliest markers of neuronal differentiation. It is regarded as a specific probe for the cells of neuronal origin as well as for the tumours originating from these cells. The betaIII-tubulin is most abundant in cells of neuronal origin, but was also detected in Sertoli cells of the testis and transiently in non-neuronal embryonic tissues.

Entrez Gene ID 10381

UniProt ID Q13509

Western blotting analysis of human betaIII-tubulin using mouse monoclonal antibody TU-20 on lysates of U87 cells and Neuro 2a cells (and Jurkat cells as a negative control) under reducing and non-reducing conditions. Nitrocellulose membrane was probed with 2 µg/ml of mouse anti-betaIII-tubulin monoclonal antibody followed by IRDye800-conjugated anti-mouse secondary antibody. A specific band was detected for betaIII-tubulin at approximately 55 kDa.

Separation of MCF-7 cells stained using anti-betaIII-Tubulin (TU-20) purified antibody (concentration in sample 9 μg/ml, GAM APC, red-filled) from MCF-7 cells unstained by primary antibody (GAM APC, black-dashed) in flow cytometry analysis (intracellular staining).

Immunocytochemistry staining of Neuro2a mouse neuroblastoma cell line using anti-betaIII-tubulin (TU-20; green; 3 μg/ml). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue).

Immunocytochemistry staining of P-19 mouse embryonal carcinoma cell line stimulated to neuronal differentiation by retinoic acid. A - Microtubules decorated with neuron-specific anti-betaIII-tubulin (TU-20; red). B - Merged image of co-staining with anti-beta-tubulin (TU-06; green; cat. no. 11-251-C100). Superposition of red and green colours provided yellow staining. Nuclei were stained with DNA-binding dye (blue).

Immunohistochemistry staining of human brain (paraffin sections) using anti-betaIII tubulin (TU-20). Commercially tested by LifeSpan BioSciences.

Immunohistochemistry staining of betaIII tubulin (red) in tissue sections of murine brain expressing GFP in some of its neurons (green). Mouse monoclonal antibody TU-20 (anti-betaIII tubulin) was detected with goat anti-mouse IgG1 conjugated with Alexa Fluor 555.
