Glu-alpha-Tubulin (C-Term) antibody

Catalog No. ABIN1742545

Product Details

Target: Glu-alpha-Tubulin

Binding Specificity: C-Term

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Eukaryotes, Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: Un-conjugated

Application: ELISA, Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Western Blotting (WB), Immunocytochemistry (ICC)

Specificity: Specific for detyrosinated alpha-tubulin (glu-tubulin) and polyglutamylated tubulin (also beta-tubulin).

Cross-Reactivity (Details): No cross reaction to tyrosinated tubulin.

Purification: purified IgG. Azide was added before lyophilization.

Immunogen: Synthetic peptide VDSVEGEGEEEGEE (14 C-terminal aa of detyrosinated alpha-tubulin) coupled to BSA via glutaraldehyde. Epitope X-EE including the terminal alpha-carboxylate group. All linkages in the peptide involve alpha-peptide bonds.

Clone: 1D5

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: WB: 1 : 100 up to 1 : 1000 (AP staining)
IP: not tested yet
ICC: 1 : 200
IHC: 1 : 200

Comment:

WB: Tween 20 (other detergents not yet tested) should not be added to the blocking and washing solution. It greatly diminishes the intensity of the signal.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Lyophilized

Reconstitution: For reconstitution add 100 µL H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution of antibody in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20 °C until use.

Buffer: PBS, 0.02% sodium azide

Preservative: Sodium azide

Precaution of Use: This product contains Sodium azide: a POISONOUS AND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE which should be handled by trained staff only.

Handling Advice: Do not store diluted antibody solutions unless you add detergent or carrier proteins such as goat serum, BSA or others. IgG sticks to glass and plastic. Any IgG solution below 0.1 mg/mL protein will quickly adsorb and denature and thus loose activity! Repetitive freeze-thawing of dilute purified IgG is almost certain to lead to substantial losses.

Storage: -20 °C

Storage Comment: Unlabeled antibodies are stable in this form without loss of quality at ambient temperatures for several weeks or even months. They can be stored at 4 °C for several years.
