Background: Microtubules are constituent parts of the mitotic apparatus, cilia, flagella, and elements of the cytoskeleton. They consist principally of 2 soluble proteins, alpha- and beta-tubulin, each of about 55,000 Da.
Antibodies against beta Tubulin are useful as loading controls for Western Blotting. However it should be noted that levels of beta Tubulin may not be stable in certain cells.

Purification and Purity: The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse ascites by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE).

Storage and Stability: Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Specificity: Tubulin β (4D9) mAb detects endogenous levels of β-Tubulin protein.

Bioworld Molecular Weight: ~ 55 kDa

Note: For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedure.

Extra Notes: Western blot (WB) analysis of Tubulin β (4D9) mAb at 1:5000/1:10000/1:20000 dilution
Lane 1: L02 whole cell lysate (20ug)
Lane 2: NIH-3T3 whole cell lysate (20ug)
Lane 3: PC12 whole cell lysate (20ug)
Lane 4: The Kidney tissue lysate of Mouse (20ug), IF image of BS1482M stained A375 cells. The cells were 4% paraformaldehyde fixed (20 min) and then incubated in 10% normal goat serum for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody Tubulin β (4D9) mAb #BS1482M(1:500) at 10µg/ml overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (Green) was Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) FITC#BS50950 used at a 1/400 dilution for 1h. Hoechst33342 #BD5011 was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue)., Immunoprecipitation of MCF-7 cell lysates using Tubulin β mAb (Sepharose Bead Conjugate)#BD0048 (Lane 2 and Lane 3). Lane 1 is 30% input. The western blot was probed using Tubulin β pAb.

Alternative Name: Total tubulin β; Tubulin beta
