Scientific Data Images for NF-M Antibody (MCA-3H11)

Western Blot: NF-M Antibody (MCA-3H11) [NBP2-31206]

Western Blot: NF-M Antibody (MCA-3H11) [NBP2-31206]

Western Blot: NF-M Antibody (MCA-3H11) [NBP2-31206] - Analysis of neuronal tissue lysates using mouse NF-M mAb, dilution 1:10,000 (Green): [1] protein standard (red), [2] rat spinal cord, [3] mouse spinal cord, [4] cow spinal cord, [5] rat sciatic nerve. Strong bands at 145kDa correspond to rodent NF-M while that at about 160kDa corresponds to the significantly larger bovine NF-M protein.
Immunohistochemistry Free-Floating: NF-M Antibody (MCA-3H11) [NBP2-31206]

Immunohistochemistry Free-Floating: NF-M Antibody (MCA-3H11) [NBP2-31206]

Immunohistochemistry Free-Floating: NF-M Antibody (MCA-3H11) [NBP2-31206] - Analysis of adult rat frontal cortex section stained with mouse neurofilament NF-M mAb, dilution 1:5,000 (Green), and costained with chicken neurofilament NF-H pAb, dilution 1:5,000 (Red). Following transcardial perfusion of rat with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post fixed for 24hrs, cut to 45uM, and free-floating sections were stained with above antibodies. The mouse NF-M mAb labels neuron cell bodies and dendrites of pyramidal neurons, as well as dendrites and axons of other neuronal cells, while the chicken NF-M pAb stains the network of neuronal axons only.

Background: NF-M

Neurofilaments are 10nm intermediate filament proteins located in vertebrate neurons, which regulate axonal diameter. They are composed predominantly of the three major neurofilament proteins: NF-Light, NF-Medium and NF-Heavy. NF-M is the middle or medium neurofilament subunit and runs on SDS-PAGE gels in the range 145-170kDa, with some size variation in across species.

Antibodies to NF-M may be used to identify NF-M in neurons and to study neuronal processes in tissue sections and/or culture. NF-M can also be useful in studies of neurofilament accumulations seen in many neurological diseases, such as Lou Gehrig's disease or Alzheimer's disease.
