Recombinant Neurofilament Antibody / Heavy

SKU: orb2640769

Description

This MAb reacts with a 200kDa protein, identified as heavy sub-unit of neurofilaments (NF-H). 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 oat cell carcinomas of the lung also express neurofilament.

Images & Validation

• Tested Applications: FACS, IHC-P, WB
• Dilution Range: Western blot: 1-2ug/ml,Flow cytometry: 0.5-1ug/10^6 cells,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
• Application Notes:
  The usable concentrations in the Applications Details are suggestions only. The use of different protocols/secondaries/substrates may require the recombinant Neurofilament antibody to be titered for optimal performance.1. 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.
