Product Name:

Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody

Catalog Number:

Ab15246

Clone Number:

Polyclonal

In our experiment in in vitro (Neuro2A cells) cell lysate, we have checked the levels of acetyl tubulin and alpha-tubulin has used as loading control for the acetyl tubulin protein.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Neuro2A (Mouse neuroblastoma)

Primary Incubation

1:1000

Blocking Agent

5% BSA in 1xTBST (0.1% Tween 20)

Secondary Incubation

1:5000 (Anti-Rabbit)

Results Summary

Neuro2A cell lysate treated with HDACi used for the experiment. Relative protein concentration is measured using the amido black method and loaded equal amount of protein. We have observed the equal amount of alpha-tubulin in all the samples, while the increased acetyl tubulin levels observed in HDACi treated samples compared to control.
