Quick Overview for TUBB3 antibody (N-Term) (FITC) (ABIN110981)

Target: TUBB3 (Tubulin, beta 3 (TUBB3))

Reactivity: Vicia faba

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This TUBB3 antibody is conjugated to FITC

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro)), Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)

Clone: TU-20

Product Details anti-TUBB3 Antibody (FITC)

Binding Specificity: N-Term

Specificity: This antibody recognizes the C-terminal peptide sequence ESESQGPK (aa 441-448) of human class III β-tubulin specific for neurones. The antibody is a highly specific marker for neuronal tissue. TU-20 is very useful for the detection of microtubule structures on fixed cells. MAb TU-20 is widely cross-reactive among species (recognized epitope conserved within all species).

Immunogen: Peptide (C) 441-448 coupled to maleimide-activated keyhole limpet hemocyanin via cysteine added to the N-terminus of the neuron-specific peptide

Isotype: IgG1

Application Details

Application Notes: Immunohistochemistry on Frozen and Paraffin Sections. Immunocytotochemistry on Fixed and Permeabilized cells. Suggested working dilution is 1/40. The conjugate was also successfully used on FFPE Sections using Confocal Microscopy.
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target Details for TUBB3

Target: TUBB3 (Tubulin, beta 3 (TUBB3))

Alternative Name: TUBB3 / TUBB4

Background: The betaIII-tubulin isotype is present dominantly in cells of neuronal origin and it is one of the earliest marker of neuronal differentiation. Class III beta-tubulin, is regarded as a specific probe for the cells of neuronal origin as well as for the tumours originating from these cells. The neuron-associated class III beta-tubulin isotype 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.Synonyms: Tubulin beta-3 chain, Tubulin beta-4, Tubulin beta-III
