Special Instructions
Only recognizes non-phosphorylated neurofilament H. By immunocytochemistry this antibody stains neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and some thick axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems, but does not stain thin axons or other cells and tissues. Tissues and cultured cells can be fixed in a variety of paraformaldehyde- or formaldehye-containing fixatives, such as Bouin's fixative. Antibody reactivity is poor in glutaraldehyde/paraformaldehyde-fixed samples. For staining formalin-fixed, paraffin sections it is recommended that de-paraffinized tissue be autoclaved in dH₂O for 10 min or boiled in Tris-buffered saline, pH 9.0, in a microwave for 15 min. Trypsin pre-treatment abolishes antibody binding to the epitope. Post-fixation in cold methanol or methanol/hydrogen peroxide facilitates access of the antibody to the neurons in frozen sections or thick sections fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and in cultured cells. By immunoblotting this antibody detects two bands, ~180 and ~200 kDa, which merge into a single NFH line on two-dimensional gels. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.

Description
Mouse monoclonal antibody supplied as affinity purified antibody. Recognizes the ~180-200 kDa non-phosphorylated neurofilament H protein.
Background
Neurofilaments are a type of intermediate filament that serve as major constituent of the cytoskeleton of axons. They are the most abundant fibrillar components of the axon and are composed of three intertwined protofibrils. The neurofilament triplet proteins (NF-L, 68/70 kDa; NF-M, 160 kDa; and NF-H, 200 kDa) are found in both the central and peripheral nervous system and are usually neuron-specific. NF-H and NF-M both require the presence of NF-L protein to co-assemble. NF-H and NF-M become highly phosphorylated after newly formed neurofilaments enter the axon. Neurofilament staining is observed in neuromas, ganglioneuromas, gangliogliomas, ganglioneuroblastomas and neuroblastomas, and have also been detected in paragangliomas and adrenal and extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas. Carcinoids, neuroendocrine carcinomas of the skin, and oat cell carcinomas of the lung are also known to express neurofilaments.
