Company:

Abcam

Product Name:

Anti-beta Tubulin antibody

Catalog Number:

ab6046

Clone Number:

Polyclonal

To normalise the nitrocellulose immunoblot for the equal loading of proteins (loading control), beta-tubulin levels were detected in the same blot. For, this the immunoblots which were already identified for a target molecule were IgG stripped with stripping buffer, blocked with skim milk and probed with Abcam beta-tubulin antibody. Selection of antibody was based on previous experience and the protein band shown in antibody flyer.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Mouse tissue protein extract

Primary Incubation

Dilution (1:1000) in 5% skimmed milk prepared in 1x TBST, overnight incubation at 4 degree Celsius

Blocking Agent

5% skimmed milk made in 1x TBST

Secondary Incubation

Goat anti-rabbit IgG HRP, dilution (1:4000) in 5% skimmed milk prepared in 1x TBST, 2hr at RT

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

ECL detection in X-Ray films

Results Summary

The antibody has detected very strong and an intense band of beta-tubulin protein at nearly 56 kDa molecular weight (Low range protein marker). However, no or little variation in protein load was observed between the lanes.
