The application notes include recommended starting dilutions; optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Application Abreviews Notes WB ICC/IF Application notes ICC/IF: Use at an assay dependent dilution in conjunction with either immunofluorescence or immunoperoxidase labelling methods. WB: 1/500. Predicted molecular weight: 270 kDa. May run higher due to many phosphorylation 1 sites: 320kDa. Not tested in other applications. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. Target Relevance Microtubules are associated with a family of proteins called microtubule associated proteins (MAPs), which includes the protein t (tau) and a group of proteins referred to as MAP1, MAP2, MAP3, MAP4 and MAP5. MAP1B is the major microtubule associated protein in developing brain which changes its expression during development. In the newborn rat brain, it is a major component of microtubules but in the adult its level is ten fold lower. This change in the level of expression occurs simultaneously with neuronal maturation. MAP1B is the first MAP to appear in growing axons during development as it is present from the first emergence of the nascent axon from the cell body.
