Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed HeLa (human epithelial cell line from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells labeling alpha Tubulin with ab52866 at 1/500 dilution. The cells were permeabilised with 0.1% Triton X-100. Anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor® 488 (ab150077) at 1/400 dilution was used as the secondary antibody (green). The confocal image shows microtubules staining on HeLa cell line. The nuclear counter stain is DAPI (blue). Tubulin is detected with ab7291 (anti-Tubulin mouse mAb) at 1/500 and anti-mouse AlexaFluor® 594 (ab150120) at 1/500 dilution (red).
The negative controls are as follows:
1. ab52866 at 1/500 dilution followed by anti-mouse AlexaFluor® 594 (ab150120) at 1/500 dilution.
2. ab7291 (anti-Tubulin mouse mAb) at 1/500 dilution followed by anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor® 488 (ab150077) at 1/400 dilution. -

AJAP1 co-localizes with microtubules in HUVECs
The association of AJAP1 with microtubules in HUVECs is lost upon microtubule destruction. Treatment with 12.5 µM nocodazole for 24 h shows destruction of the microtubule network and loss of AJAP1 tubular localization. For a negative control, HUVECs are treated with DMSO for 24 h. Cell nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (cyan). Microscope: Zeiss LSM 780; objective lens: 63×/1.40 oil; scale bar: 25 µm.
Incubated overnight at 4°C with ab52866.

ab52866 staining alpha Tubulin in 293 Human embryonic kidney cells by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with paraformaldehyde and blocked with 10% serum for 2 hours at 23°C. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/200 in 0.5% saponin) for 2 hours at 23°C. An Alexa Fluor®555-conjugated Goat anti-rabbit IgG polyclonal (1/500) was used as the secondary antibody. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI.

Observed band size: 52 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using Licor blocking buffer before being incubated with ab52866 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using Anti-Rabbit Alexa Fluor® 790 (ab175781) at a 1:10,000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature and then imaged using the Licor Odyssey CLx.
