{"product_id":"biolegend-835903","title":"Biolegend, 835903, Purified anti-Neurofilament H (NF-H) Antibody, 25μg","description":"\u003cp\u003eNeurofilaments (NFs) are ~10 nanometer, type IV intermediate filaments expressed in neurons. NFs are the major components of the neuronal cytoskeleton, and primarily function to provide structural support for axons and regulate axonal diameter. There are three major mammalian neurofilament subunits, which are named based on their apparent molecular weight: 1) neurofilament light (NF-L, ~70 kD), 2) neurofilament medium (NF-M, ~145-160 kD), and 3) neurofilament heavy (NF-H, ~200-220 kD). Neurofilaments are extensively phosphorylated, and their phosphorylation status plays an important role in modulation of their function. Abnormal NF modifications, mutations, and accumulation have been associated with neurodegenerative diseases. NF immunostaining is commonly used as a diagnostic marker for neuropathology detection. NFs are also useful for differentiating neurons (positive for NF) from glia (negative for NF).\u003cbr\u003e\n25μg\u003cbr\u003e\nVerified Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat\u003cbr\u003e\nAntibody Type: Monoclonal\u003cbr\u003e\nHost Species: Mouse\u003cbr\u003e\nFormulation: Phosphate-buffered solution, pH 7.2, containing 0.09% sodium azide.\u003cbr\u003e\nPreparation: The antibody was purified by affinity chromatography.\u003cbr\u003e\nConcentration: 0.5 mg\/ml\u003cbr\u003e\nStorage \u0026amp; Handling: The antibody solution should be stored undiluted between 2°C and 8°C.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication: IHC-P - Quality tested WB - Verified\u003cbr\u003e\nRecommended Usage: Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded immunohistochemical staining. For immunohistochemistry, a concentration range of 5.0 - 10 µg\/ml is suggested. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 1.0 - 10 µg\/ml. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication Notes: SMI 38 reacts with a non-phosphorylated epitope in neurofilament H (NF-H) of most mammalian species. SMI 38 visualizes neuronal cell bodies, dendrites and some thick axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Other cells and tissues are unreactive.\u003cbr\u003e\nApplication References(PubMed link indicates BioLegend citation): Petzold A, et al. 2011. Brain. 134:464. (WB) PubMed Rakic S, Zecevic N. 2003.
