Scientific Data Images for Peripherin Antibody (8G2)

Western Blot: Peripherin Antibody (8G2) [NB300-138]

Western Blot: Peripherin Antibody (8G2) [NB300-138]

Western Blot: Peripherin Antibody (8G2) [NB300-138] - Analysis of tissue and cell lysates probed with mouse mAb to peripherin, NB300-138, dilution 1:500 in green: [1] protein standard (red), [2] mouse spinal cord, [3] rat spinal cord, [4] cow spinal cord, [5] SH-SY5Y cells, and [6] PC12 cells. The band at ~57kDa corresponds to the peripherin protein. Bands at 50 and 25kDa detected in the mouse spinal cord lysate, correspond to the heavy and light chains of mouse IgG.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: Peripherin Antibody (8G2) [NB300-138]

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Peripherin Antibody (8G2) [NB300-138] - Analysis of human neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y (A) and rat pheochromocytoma cell line PC12 (B), stained with mouse mAb to peripherin, NB300-138, dilution 1:500, in red, and costained with chicken pAb to vimentin, dilution 1:10,000, in green. The blue is DAPI staining of nuclear DNA. Peripherin, one of the Class III family of intermediate filament (IF) subunit proteins is revealed by NB300-138 antibody in the perinuclear region in some SH-SY5Y cells and in all PC12 cells. Vimentin, a protein also in the Class III IF family, is detected in a subpopulation of SH-SY5Y cells which are negative for peripherin. PC12 cells express peripherin but not vimentin.

Background: Peripherin

Peripherin (PRPH) is a 57kD type III neuronal intermediate filament (NIF) protein which is predominantly expressed in neurons of PNS and in certain CNS neurons specifically from brain stem/spinal cord which generally project toward peripheral structures. Inside developing neurons, PRPH is expressed abundantly in the growth cones and is required for axonal outgrowth as well as maintenance or regeneration. In mature neurons, together with other NIFs, PRPH constitutes a shape-maintaining IF network. Besides its crucial role in development of nervous system, PRPH can also be highly relevant to pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorder. PRPH expression is induced in CNS neurons (wherein it is not expressed normally) upon brain injury, and factors such as LIF, IL-6 etc and PRPH molecules form aggregates in neurons. Synaptic plasticity is markedly altered in PRPH transgenic mice (Per mice) and up-regulation of PRPH expression is implicated in some pathophysiological conditions, such as cerebral ischemia and seizure, and some cognitive disorders. In ALS patients, PRPH together with neuronal IFs are detected in the majority of abnormal IF inclusion bodies in mature or aging motor neurons.
