Company:

Thermo Fisher Scientific

Product Name:

alpha Tubulin Polyclonal Antibody

Catalog Number:

PA5-29444

Clone Number:

N/A

The mouse which was subjected to treatment was sacrificed, and protein collected from tissues were examined to test the effect of the procedure to mice on target proteins and blot was normalized with alpha tubulin protein levels. In brief, extracted proteins from these tissues were resolved in 10%, SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted for alpha tubulin using Thermo Fisher Scientific Ab. The selection of alpha tubulin from Thermo Fisher Scientific was due to excellent band shown in antibody flyer.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Mouse tissue whole-cell protein extract

Primary Incubation

Dilution (1:2000) in 5% skimmed milk prepared in 1x TBST, overnight incubation at 4 degree Celsius

Blocking Agent
