Lane 1: Wild-type HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 µg)
Lane 2: Beta III Tubulin knockout HAP1 whole cell lysate (20 µg)

Lanes 1 - 2: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab18207 observed at 55 kDa. Red - loading control, ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.

ab18207 was shown to recognize beta III Tubulin in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in beta III Tubulin knockout cells. An additional cross-reactive band at 50 kDa was observed in wild-type and knockout cells. Due to the immunogen’s homology with TUB (Tubby protein homolog, Uniprot: P50607), this lower band could correspond to the TUB protein. Please note that cross-reactivity with this protein has not been confirmed experimentally.

Wild-type and beta III Tubulin knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab18207 and ab9484 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 μg/ml and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye^® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye^® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature

The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5min) and then blocked in 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated with ab18207 at 1μg/ml and ab7291 at 1µg/ml overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with a Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed (ab150081) secondary antibody at 2 μg/ml (shown in green) and Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab150120) secondary antibody at 2 μg/ml (shown in pseudo color red). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
Negative controls: 1– Rabbit primary and anti-mouse secondary antibody; 2 – Mouse primary antibody and anti-rabbit secondary antibody. Controls 1 and 2 indicate that there is no unspecific reaction between primary and secondary antibodies used.

IHC image of ab18207 staining beta III Tubulin in rat cerebellum formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections, performed on a Leica Bond. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab18207, 1:2000 dilution, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. No primary antibody was used in the secondary only control (shown on the inset).
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab18207, 0.01μg/1x10⁶) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed (ab150081) at 1/4000 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (polyclonal) (ab171870, 0.01μg/1x10⁶ cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter.

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 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab18207 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) secondary antibody , and visualised using ECL development solution ab133406

Differential expression of Dnmt1, Dnmt3a, and Dnmt3b during RA induced neuronal differentiation of P19 cells

Mouse P19 cells either left untreated (top panel) or RA treated for initial 2 days and further cultured for 4 days without RA (6 days, bottom panel) were immunostained with neuron specific β-III tubulin antibody and nuclei were stained using DAPI.

In order to confirm the neuronal morphology, the cells were stained for neuron specific beta III-tubulin (ab18207). RA induced P19 cells showed immunoreactivity against βIII-tubulin, indicating a neuronal phenotype. In contrast, undifferentiated P19 cells were βIII-tubulin negative.

Immunohistochemical analysis of adult mice ovaries undergone Clarity processing staining tyrosine hydroxlase (TH), Beta III Tubulin (Tuj1) with ab18207, and brain derived neurotrpic factor (BDNF) with ab72439. Positive staing of Tuj1 and BDNF is evident in the theca cells and corpus luteum.

ab18207 staining beta III tubulin in PC-12 (Rat adrenal gland pheochromocytoma cell line) cells treated with venlafaxine hydrochloride (ab120715), by ICC/IF. Increase in the number and length of neurites (stained with beta III tubulin) correlates with increased concentration of venlafaxine hydrochloride, as described in literature.
The NGF treated cells were incubated at 37°C for 6 hour in media containing different concentrations of ab120715 (venlafaxine hydrochloride) in DMSO, fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature and blocked with PBS containing 10% goat serum, 0.3 M glycine, 1% BSA and 0.1% tween for 2h at room temperature. Staining of the treated cells with ab18207 (1 μg/ml) was performed overnight at 4°C in PBS containing 1% BSA and 0.1% tween. A Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed (ab96899) secondary antibody at 1/250 dilution was used.
