NF-H Antibody [SPM203]

Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 ug/million cells in 0.1ml

Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.25-0.5 ug/ml for 30 min at RT (1)

Prediluted format: incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

The optimal dilution of the anti-NF-H antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.

Aliquot and Store at 2-8°C. Avoid freez-thaw cycles.

This mAb reacts with a 200kDa protein, identified as heavy subunit of neurofilaments. Neurofilaments make up the main structural elements of axons and dendrites and are found in neurons, peripheral nerves, and sympathetic ganglion cells. Neurofilaments consist of three major subunits with molecular weights of 68kDa (NF-L), 160kDa (NF-M) and 200kDa (NF-H). Anti-neurofilament stains a number of neural, neuroendocrine, and endocrine tumors. Neuromas, ganglioneuromas, gangliogliomas, ganglioneuroblastomas, and neuroblastomas stain positively for anti-neurofilament. Neurofilaments are also present in paragangliomas as well as adrenal and extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas. Carcinoids, neuroendocrine carcinomas of the skin, and cell carcinomas of the lung also express neurofilament.

The Triton-X 100 insoluble protein fraction from rat brain was used as the immunogen for this anti-NF-H antibody.
