ab7291 staining alpha Tubulin in SV40LT-SMC cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized in 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 minutes 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 ab7291 at a working concentration of 0.5μg/ml and ab190573, Rabbit monoclonal [EP1332Y] to alpha Tubulin(Alexa Fluor® 647, shown in red) at 1/250 overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with an anti-mouse Alexa Fluor® 488 (ab150117) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green).Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
This product also gave a positive signal in 100% methanol (5 min) fixed SV40 cells under the same testing conditions.
Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).
IHC image of ab7291 staining alpha Tubulin in human colon 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 ab7291, 5ug/ml working concentration, 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.

Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab7291 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween 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 (ab7291, 1µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was an anti-mouse DyLight® 488 (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (ab91353, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed.

The cells were then incubated with ab7291 at 1μg/ml and ab6046 at 1µg/ml overnight at +4°C, followed by a further incubation at room temperature for 1h with an anti-mouse Alexa Fluor® 488 (ab150117) at 2 μg/ml (shown in green) and anti-rabbit Alexa Fluor® 594 (ab150088) at 2 μg/ml (shown in pseudo color red). Nuclear DNA was labelled in blue with DAPI.
Negative controls:1 – Rabbit primary antibody 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.

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 ab7291 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-mouse HRP (ab97040), and visualised using ECL development solution ab133406
FABP4 (green) was detected using FABP4 primary antibody (ab92501; diluted 1/1000). Alpha tubulin (red) was detected usingthe mouse monoclonal (ab7291) antibody. Cells were imaged by confocal microscopy, using z-stack for adipocyte-like cells.
