Key Properties

• Antibody Type: Primary Antibody
• Host: Rabbit
• Clonality: Polyclonal
• Isotype: IgG
• Immunogen: Anti-Tubulin Loading Control Antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-Terminal region near amino acids 425-451 of Human alpha Tubulin.
• Purity: Anti-Tubulin Loading Control Antibody is directed against human alpha Tubulin protein. The Loading Control Antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest that this antibody would react with alpha Tubulin from a wide range of organisms, including avian, mammalian aquatic, parasitic and alga sources based on 100% homology for the immunogen sequence. Cross reactivity will occur with all isoforms of alpha tubulin. Such broad reactivity makes this antibody useful as an excellent loading control.

Storage & Handling

• Storage: Store Anti-Tubulin Loading Control Antibody at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot Loading Control Antibody contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge Tubulin Loading Control Antibody if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This Control Antibody is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

ELISA results of purified Rabbit anti-alpha-Tubulin Antibody tested against BSA-conjugated peptide of immunizing peptide. Each well was coated in duplicate with 0.1 µg of conjugate. The starting dilution of antibody was 5 µg/ml and the X-axis represents the Log10 of a 3-fold dilution. This titration is a 4-parameter curve fit where the IC50 is defined as the titer of the antibody. Assay performed using 3% fish gel, Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Antibody Peroxidase Conjugated (Min X Bv Ch Gt GP Ham Hs Hu Ms Rt & Sh Serum Proteins) (p/n orb347654) and TMB ELISA Peroxidase Substrate (p/n orb348651).
