Immunocytochemical localization of acetylated alpha-tubulin in mouse resident peritoneal macrophages

Acta histochemica
L M Del Caro, W de Souza

Abstract

Antibodies which recognize tubulin, actin and vimentin were used to localize microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments, respectively, in whole Triton X-100 extracted macrophages. The cytoskeleton components were seen by transmission electron microscopy of cells labeled with secondary antibodies coupled to colloidal gold particles. All microtubules were labeled with a monoclonal antibody which recognizes alpha tubulin. In addition, few were labeled with an antibody recognizing acetylated alpha tubulin.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
