Scientific Data Images for NF-H Antibody

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody [NB300-135]

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody [NB300-135]

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody [NB300-135] - Proof of viability of organotypic adult brain slices. Brain slices of adult 9 month old wildtype (WT) mice were dissected fresh or incubated for either 1 day or for 14 days to examine vitality of slices (A). Brain slices were subsequently analyzed by Western blot using antibodies against Neurofilament-200 kDa, total tau (Tau-5) and actin served as a control. Size markers are given as kDa on the right side. Note some degradation of neurofilament but stability of Tau-5.

Immunohistochemistry: NF-H Antibody [NB300-135]

Immunohistochemistry: NF-H Antibody [NB300-135]

Immunohistochemistry: NF-H Antibody [NB300-135] - Mouse hippocampus section stained with rabbit pAb to NF-H, dilution 1:2,000 in red, and costained with mouse mAb to myelin basic protein (MBP), dilution 1:5,000 in green. The blue is DAPI staining of nuclear DNA. Following transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post fixed for 24 hours, cut to 45uM, and free-floating sections were stained with above antibodies. The NF-H antibody labels a network of axons of different neurons, while the MBP antibody stains myelin sheath around these axons.

Immunohistochemistry: NF-H Antibody [NB300-135]

Immunohistochemistry: NF-H Antibody [NB300-135] - Immunostainings of adult organotypic brain slices at the hippocampal level. Brain slices were prepared from WT or TG adult mice and incubated with okadaic acid (OA). Brain slices were stained for nuclear DAPI (blue, A,B) showing intact brain structures. Thiazine Red staining (C,D) shows red fluorescent plaques in the hippocampus (D) of TG mice, while only background is seen in the hippocampus (C) of WT mice. Staining of neurofilament fibers (G,H) shows good neuronal viability both in WT and TG mice.

Application Notes
This 200kDa Neurofilament Heavy Antibody is useful for WB, ICC/IF, ELISA and IHC-P, IHC-Frozen. In WB a band can be seen at around 200kDa corresponding to rodent Neurofilament Heavy. In larger species such as porcine or human, Neurofilament Heavy runs a little slower and can be seen around 210-220kDa. 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. Use in In vitro assay reported in scientific literature (PMID 27789413). Use in IHC-WhMt reported in scientific literature (PMID:33499508)
Please Note: Optimal dilutions of this antibody should be experimentally determined.

Background: NF-H

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 Heavy is the heavy or high molecular weight microfilament subunit and runs on SDS-PAGE gels in the range 180-220kDa, with some variation in different species. Neurofilament Heavy antibodies can be used to identify neurons and their processes in tissue sections and in tissue culture. Additionally, antibodies can also be used to study microfilament accumulations seen in many neurological diseases, such as Lou Geri's disease or Alzheimer's disease.
