Application Data

(Published customer image: Expression of PpiMHCIIa, PpiMHCIIb1 and PpiMHCIIb2 in the tentacular apparatus. (A) Schematic drawing of the tentacle root in internal view. The three coloured horizontal lines materialise the three different planes of transverse cryosections corresponding to panels D, I, N (in green), E, J, O (in orange) and F, K, P (in purple). (A') The tentacle root in external view (corresponding to the side of tentacle insertion). The dotted lines delineate the longitudinal dissections to remove tentacle root lateral expansions in order to obtain the preparations shown in (C, H, M). (A) Schematic drawing of the tentacle root in longitudinal section, after removal of the lateral expansions following the dotted lines in (A'). Horizontal lines indicating the three planes of cryosections as in (A). (B, G, L) Internal views of isolated tentacle roots showing PpiMHCIIa (B), PpiMHCIIb1 (G), PpiMHCIIb2 (L) expressions. (C, H, M) Longitudinal sections of the tentacle root stained with PpiMHCIIa (C), PpiMHCIIb1 (H), PpiMHCIIb2 (M) anti-sense probes. The aboral pole is at the top in panels (B, C, G, H, L, M). (D-F, I-K, N-P) Transverse cryosections of whole-mount ISH for the three genes, with sectioning plane indicated by the colour of the surrounding line according to the colour code outlined in panel (A). The black arrowhead in (G-J) points to a stained line above the median ridge which appears to be more or less in continuity with the two layered bands labelled M Tcl. (Q) YL1/2 (anti-tyrosylated-a-tubulin, in red) and DAPI (in blue) counterstaining of the region boxed in (N). (R) Higher magnification of the region indicated by the box in (Q).

(W) YL1/2 (in red) and DAPI (in blue) counterstaining of (V). The YL1/2 staining in colloblasts is certainly due to non-specific fixation of the antibody on the sticky colloblast granules.

Related Product Information for anti-TUBULIN ALPHA antibody

Rat anti Tubulin alpha antibody, clone YL1/2 recognizes the alpha subunit of tubulin, specifically binding tyrosylated Tubulin (Tyr-Tubulin) (Wehland et al. 1983). The epitope recognized by this antibody has been extensively studied and would appear to be a linear sequence requiring an aromatic residue at the C terminus, with the two adjacent amino acids being negatively charged (represented by Glu-Glu-Tyr in Tyr-Tubulin). The antibody has been used in epitope tagging procedures to detect proteins tagged with a C-terminal Gly-Gly-Phe epitope. These sequence requirements have been reported to result in some cross-reactivity with other proteins in certain circumstances, including E Coli rec A and oxidized actin (Burns 1987). This product is routinely tested in ELISA on Tubulin.
