ab179484 stained in Hela cells. Untreated and Trichostatin A treated (50ug/ml, 4 hours) cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10min) at room temperature and incubated with PBS containing 10% goat serum, 0.3 M glycine, 1% BSA and 0.1% triton for 1h at room temperature to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody ab179484 at 1/500 dilution overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody was ab150177 used at 1 ug/ml for 1hour at room temperature (colored green). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (colored blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM for 1hour at room temperature.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Rat cerebellum tissue labeling alpha Tubulin (acetyl K40) with ab179484 at 1/1000 dilution, followed by prediluted HRP Polymer for Rabbit/Mouse IgG. Cytoplasmic staining is observed on Purkinje cells of cerebellum. Counter stained with Hematoxylin.
Negative control: Using PBS instead of primary ab, secondary ab is prediluted HRP Polymer for Rabbit/Mouse IgG.
Perform heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Ab179484 staining alpha Tubulin in HFF-1 (Human skin fibroblast) cell line by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% TritonX-100. Samples were incubated with primary antibody at 1:20000 dilution. An AlexaFluor®488 Goat anti-Rabbit (ab150077) was used as a secondary antibody at 1:1000 dilution. An Anti-Alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594), ab195889 was used as a counterstain at 1:200 dilution. DAPI was used as a nuclear counterstain.

Goat anti rabbit IgG (FITC) at 1/150 dilution was used as the secondary antibody. ab179484 preincubated with 1mg/ml acetyl Alpha tubulin (acetyl K40) peptide (green) or non-acetyl Alpha tubulin (acetyl K40) peptide (orange). The isotype control was Rabbit monoclonal IgG (black) and the unlabelled contol was cells without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (blue).

Alpha Tubulin was immunoprecipitated from 1mg of HeLa cells (Human epithelial cells from cervix adenocarcinoma) treated with 500 ng/ml Trichostatin A for 4 hours with ab179484 at 1/70 dilution. Western blot was performed from 10 µg of the immunoprecipitate using ab179484 at 1/1000 dilution. Anti-Rabbit IgG (HRP), specific to the non-reduced form of IgG, was used as secondary antibody at 1/1500 dilution. Left lane: Hela whole cell extract. Right lane: PBS instead of Hela whole cell extract.
