Applications

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry, Immunohistochemistry-Frozen, Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin, Western Blot

Label

Unconjugated

Antibody Source

Monoclonal Mouse IgM Clone # RNF402

Concentration

1 mg/ml

Product Specifications

Immunogen

Derived by fusion of SP2/0-Ag14 Mouse myeloma cells with spleen cells from a BALB/c Mouse immunized with a neurofilament preparation of calf brain tissue.

Reactivity Notes

Please note that this antibody is reactive to Mouse and derived from the same host, Mouse. Mouse-On-Mouse blocking reagent may be needed for IHC and ICC experiments to reduce high background signal. You can find these reagents under catalog numbers PK-2200-NB and MP-2400-NB. Please contact Technical Support if you have any questions.

Specificity

This antibody reacts with both the phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated isoform of the 200 kD neurofilament protein (NF-H).

Marker

Neuronal Marker

Clonality

Monoclonal

Host

Mouse

Isotype

IgM

Description

The antibody is shipped at ambient temperature and may be stored at 4C. For prolonged storage prepare appropriate aliquots and store at or below -20C. Prior to use, an aliquot is thawed slowly in the dark at ambient temperature, spun down again and used to prepare working dilutions by adding sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS, pH 7.2). Repeated thawing and freezing should be avoided. Working dilutions should be stored at 4C, not refrozen, and preferably used the same day. If a slight precipitation occurs upon storage, this should be removed by centrifugation. It will not affect the performance or the concentration of the product.

Background: NF-H

Like most other intermediate filament proteins (IFPs), the expression of the different neuronal IFPs is both tissue-specific and developmentally regulated. The neurofilament (NF) triplet proteins (70, 160, and 200 kDa) occur in both the central and peripheral nervous system and are normally restricted to neurons. The 70 kDa NF-protein can self-assemble into a filamentous structure, whereas the 160 kDa and 200 kDa NF-proteins require the presence of the 70 kDa NF-protein to co-assemble. All three NF proteins can be detected by immunohistochemical methods at day 9 or 10 after gestation in the Mouse embryo. Although IFPs of the neurofilament type are normally restricted to neurons, there are reports on their expression in non-neuronal cells as well. For example, in heart conduction myocytes NF proteins are expressed together with desmin. In tumorpathology ganglioneuroblastomas and some of the other neuroblastomas are strongly positive with the neurofilament antisera. Also, some neuro-endocrine malignancies may show NF positivity. In cell cultures of neural tissues the neurofilament antibodies can monitor in vitro differentiation.
