ANTI-MAP5

The Uses of ANTI-MAP5

Monoclonal Anti-MAP1b antibody produced in mouse has been used in:

• immunohistochemistry
• immunostaining
• fluorescence microscopy

General Description

Monoclonal Anti-MAP1b (MAP5) (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. Microtubule-associated protein (MAP1B) is the major microtubule associated protein in developing brain which changes its expression during development. In the new born rat brain, it is a major component of microtubules but in the adult its level is ten-fold lower.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Microtubule-associated protein (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. Monoclonal Anti-MAP1b may be used to study MAP expression and cytological localization both in tissues and cell lines, under different developmental and environmental circumstances.
