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).The fourth neurofilament subunit is alpha internexin in the central nervous system and peripherin in the peripheral nervous system.

The usable concentrations in the Applications Details are suggestions only.The use of different protocols/secondaries/substrates may require the Neurofilament antibody to be titered for optimal performance.

1. The NF421 antibody is specific to the heavy subunit.2. FFPE tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.3. 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.

Human recombinant Neurofilament protein was used as the immunogen. (1)

Store the Neurofilament antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20oC or colder (without azide).
