pubmed:abstractText
Rab GTPases are localized on the cytoplasmic surface of most intracellular organelles where they play a role in the regulation of vesicular transport. As it has been difficult to detect endogenous rab proteins by morphological methods, their localizations were often inferred from transfection experiments using epitope-tagged constructs. Because most of the available epitope tags are only recognitzed by mouse monoclonal antibodies they are often not suitable for double or triple label immunocytochemistry. To overcome this problem, we generated antibodies against a novel 10 amino acid X31 influenza hemagglutin epitope (NH). We here characterized these antibodies and document their utility for detecting early endosomal rab proteins N-terminally tagged with the NH decapeptide in morphological and biochemical assays.
