Synthetic peptide KLH conjugated corresponding to the Fox-3 gene product (also known as the Neu-N antigen), but was shared between the Human (NP_001076044) and Mouse (NP_001020102) sequences. Production: After repeated injections into the hens, immune eggs were collected, and the IgY fractions were purified from the yolks. These IgY fractions were then affinity-purified using a peptide column, the concentrations of the eluate adjusted to 0.1 mg/ml, and the preparation filter-sterilized
Human Neu-N (Fox3) is a 33,873 dalton (312 amino acid) RNA-binding protein. This protein is found in the nuclei of virtually all post-mitotic central and peripheral neurons, and has been used extensively as a general neuronal marker. In these studies, Neu-N (Fox 3) stains neuronal nuclei relatively uniformly, except in the region of the nucleolus, providing a distinctive donut (i.e., torus) shape. Since this antigen is not seen in the cytoplasm, it offers the advantage of being useful in co-immunostaining studies with rabbit and Mouse antibodies against various cytoplasmic neuronal antigens.Synonyms: FOX3, Fox-1 homolog C, NeuN, RNA binding protein fox-1 homolog 3
