Scientific Data Images for NF-M Antibody

Knockout Validated: NF-M Antibody [NB300-133]

Knockout Validated: NF-M Antibody [NB300-133]

Knockout Validated: NF-M Antibody [NB300-133] - Analysis lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma parental cell line and NF-M knockout (KO) HeLa cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 1:5,000 of Rabbit Anti-Human NF-M Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # NB300-133) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog #HAF008). Specific band was detected for NF-M at approximately 155 kDa (as indicated) in the parental HeLa cell line, but is not detectable in the knockout HeLa cell line. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions.
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: NF-M Antibody [NB300-133]

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: NF-M Antibody [NB300-133]

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: NF-M Antibody [NB300-133] - Analysis of rat cerebellum section stained with rabbit pAb to NF-M, NB300-133, dilution 1:2,000 in red, and costained with mouse mAb to GAP43, dilution 1:2,000 in green. Following transcardial perfusion of rat with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post fixed for 24 hours, cut to 45uM, and free-floating sections were stained with the above antibodies. NB300-133 antibody strongly labels neuronal processes throughout the cerebellum, while the GAP43 antibody stains predominantly synaptic regios in the molecular layer.
Western Blot: NF-M Antibody [NB300-133]

Western Blot: NF-M Antibody [NB300-133]

Western Blot: NF-M Antibody [NB300-133] - Analysis of neuronal tissue lysates using rabbit pAb to NF-M, NB300-133, dilution 1:2,000 in green: [1] protein standard (red), [2] rat brain, [3] rat spinal cord, [4] mouse brain, [5] mouse spinal cord, [6] pig brain, [7] pig spinal cord. Strong bands at 145kDa correspond to rodent NF-M molecules, while the NF-M of pig and other larger mammals including humans run at about 160kDa.

Application Notes
This 160kDa Neurofilament Medium Antibody is useful for WB, ICC/IF, IHC-P, and IHC-F. In WB a band can be seen around 145kDa corresponding to rodent Neurofilament Medium. Human and bovine Neurofilament Medium run a little slower and can be seen at about 160kDa. The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors.

Background: NF-M

Neurofilaments are the 10nm or intermediate filament proteins found specifically in neurons, and are composed predominantly of three major proteins called Neurofilament Light (NF-L), Neurofilament Medium (NF-M) and Neurofilament Heavy (NF-H). Neurofilament Medium is the middle or medium neurofilament subunit and runs on SDS-PAGE gels in the range 145-170kDa, with some variation in different species. Antibodies to Neurofilament Medium are useful to identify this protein and identify neurons and their processes in tissue sections and in tissue culture. Neurofilament Medium can also be useful in studies of neurofilament accumulations seen in many neurological diseases, such as Lou Gehrig's disease or Alzheimer's disease.
