Host: Mouse

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat

Homology: N/A

Immunogen: Semi-purified human neurofilaments from spinal cord were used as the immunogen for the Neurofilament antibody.

Research Area: Neuroscience, Signal Transduction, Stem Cell

Tested Application: Flow, IHC-P

Application: Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 ug/million cells in 0.1ml
Immunohistochemistry (FFPE) : 0.25-0.5 ug/ml for 30 min at RT (1)
Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2)
Optimal dilution of the Neurofilament antibody should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required) , drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

BACKGROUND: This mAb reacts with a 200kDa and 68kDa protein, identified as heavy and light sub-units of neurofilaments (NF-H & NF-L) . Neurofilaments make up the main structural elements of axons and dendrites and are found in neurons, peripheral nerves, and sympathetic ganglion cells. Neurofilaments consist of three major subunits with molecular weights of 68kDa (NF-L) , 160kDa (NF-M) and 200kDa (NF-H) . Anti-neurofilament stains a number of neural, neuroendocrine, and endocrine tumors. Neuromas, ganglioneuromas, gangliogliomas, ganglioneuroblastomas, and neuroblastomas stain positively for anti-neurofilament. Neurofilaments are also present in paragangliomas as well as adrenal and extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas. Carcinoids, neuroendocrine carcinomas of the skin, and cell carcinomas of the lung also express neurofilament.
