Scientific Data Images for NF-H Antibody

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody [NB300-217]

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody [NB300-217]

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody [NB300-217] - Analysis of spinal cord lysates from different species using chicken pAb to NF-H, NB300-217, dilution 1:20,000 in green: [1] protein standard (red), [2] rat, [3] mouse, and [4] cow spinal cord. Strong band at about 200-220kDa corresponds to the phosphorylated from of NF-H. The protein from different species is known to have different SDS-PAGE molecular weights, with large species generally expressing larger proteins. Smaller proteolytic fragments of NF-H are also detected in spinal cord preparations with this antibody. The antibody does not recognize non-phosphorylated forms of NF-H.

Immunohistochemistry Free-Floating: NF-H Antibody [NB300-217]

Immunohistochemistry Free-Floating: NF-H Antibody [NB300-217] - Analysis of a rat cerebellum section stained with NF-H antibody, dilution 1:5,000 (Red), and costained with rabbit GFAP pAb, dilution 1:5,000 Green). DAPI staining of nuclear DNA (Blue). Following transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post fixed for 24hrs, cut to 45uM, and free floating sections were stained with above antibodies. The NF-H antibody labels network of axons of different neurons, while the GFAP antibody stains astrocytes and other glial cells.

Background: NF-H

Neurofilaments can be defined as the intermediate or 10nm filaments found specifically in neuronal cells. Neurofilaments appears as fibres of indeterminate length which generally have fine wispy protrusions from their sides. They are found abundantly in axons of large projection neurons. They probably function to provide structural support for neurons and their synapses and to support the large axon diameters required for rapid axon impulse conduction. They are composed of a mixture of subunits which usually include the three neurofilament triplet proteins, known as Neurofilament Light (NF-L), Neurofilament Medium (NF-M) and Neurofilament Heavy (NF-H). Neurofilaments may also include smaller amounts of peripherin, a-internexin, nestin and in some cases vimentin. Antibodies to the various neurofilament subunits are very useful cell type markers since the proteins are among the most abundant of the nervous system, are expressed only in neurons, and are biochemically very stable.
