Scientific Data Images for NF-H Antibody

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody [NBP1-05215]

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody [NBP1-05215]

Western Blot: NF-H Antibody [NBP1-05215] - Analysis of different tissue lysates using NF-H antibody, dilution 1:10,000 (Green): [1] protein standard (Red), [2] rat brain, [3] rat spinal cord [4] mouse brain, and [5] mouse spinal cord lysate. Strong band at about 220kDa corresponds to the phosphorylated axonal form of the NF-H subunit. Smaller proteolytic fragments of NF-H are also detected.
Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: NF-H Antibody [NBP1-05215]

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence: NF-H Antibody [NBP1-05215]

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: NF-H Antibody [NBP1-05215] - Shows mixed neuron/glial rat brain cultures stained with NBP1-05215 (green) and chicken polyclonal antibody to Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) NBP1-05198 (red). The neurofilament NF-H antibody binds to phosphorylated axonal forms of NF-H and non-phosphorylated dendritic and perikaryal forms.
Immunohistochemistry Free-Floating: NF-H Antibody [NBP1-05215]

Immunohistochemistry Free-Floating: NF-H Antibody [NBP1-05215]

Immunohistochemistry Free-Floating: NF-H Antibody [NBP1-05215] - Analysis of a mouse hippocampus section stained with NF-H antibody, dilution 1:2,000 (Red), and costained with mouse myelin basic protein mAb (MBP), 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 a network of axons of different neurons, while the MBP antibody stains myelin sheath around these axons.

Background: NF-H

Neuronal intermediate filaments (NIF) are found specifically on neurons where they play key role in maintaining neuronal morphology as well as in regenerating myelinated axons. NIF contain three subunits: a light polypeptide (NEFL/NFL), a medium polypeptide (NEFM/NFM), and a heavy polypeptide (NEFH/NFH), with molecular weights of 68, 160, and 212 kD respectively. 200kD neurofilament heavy (NEFH) is one of the major components of neuronal cytoskeleton NIF and NEFH gene was originally proposed as a DNA marker for presymptomatic diagnosis in neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) . NEHF facilitate interactions between NIF and brain mitochondria with binding efficiency dependent upon mitochondrial membranes potential. NEFH and beta-catenin are constituents in postsynaptic density (PSD) in CNS and NEFH is essential for maintaining normal cell integrity. Diminished NEFH levels are seen in certain cancers including human autonomic nerve tumors or central neurocytomas, prostate cancer, clear-cell epithelioid tumor and small cell lung carcinoma. Fibroblasts overexpressing NEFH are distorted, multinucleated, and possess inclusions, typical changes seen in neuropathies, and defects in NEFH are linked to susceptibility to ALS.
