Neurofilament antibody

Catalog No. ABIN3026881

Product Details anti-Neurofilament Antibody

Target: Neurofilament

Reactivity: Human, Rat, Mouse, Pig, Chicken

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Neurofilament antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Characteristics: This mAb reacts with a 200 kDa and 68 kDa 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 68 kDa (NF-L), 160 kDa (NF-M) and 200 kDa (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.

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Triton-X 100 insoluble proteins of rat brain (RT-97) and Neurofilaments from porcine spinal cord (NR-4) were used as the immunogen for the Neurofilament antibody cocktail.

Clone: RT-97-NR-4

Isotype: IgG

Application Details

Application Notes: Optimal dilution of the Neurofilament antibody cocktail should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10  mM 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.\. Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 μg/million cells in 0.1ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.25-0.5 μg/mL for 30 min at RT (1),Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Abstract: Neurofilament Products

Background: This mAb reacts with a 200  kDa and 68  kDa 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 68  kDa (NF-L), 160  kDa (NF-M) and 200  kDa (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.
