IHC staining of purified anti-Neurofilament H & M (NF-H/NF-M), Non-Phosphorylated antibody (clone SMI 33) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded rat brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using BioLegend’s Retrieve-ALL 3 pH 4.8 the tissue was incubated with the primary antibody at 1 µg/ml for 60 minutes at room temperature. BioLegend’s Ultra Streptavidin (USA) HRP Kit was used for detection, followed by counterstaining with hematoxylin. -
Western blot of purified anti-Neurofilament H & M (NF-H/NF-M), Non-Phosphorylated antibody (clone SMI 33). Lane 1: Molecular weight marker; Lane 2: 20 µg of human brain lysate; Lane 3: 20 µg of mouse brain lysate; Lane 4: 20 µg of rat brain lysate. The blot was incubated with 0.25 µg/mL of the primary antibodies overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP labeled goat anti-mouse IgG (Cat. No. 405306). Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system.

Neurofilaments (NF) are approximately 10 nanometer intermediate filaments found in neurons. They are a major component of the neuronal cytoskeleton, and function primarily to provide structural support for the axon and to regulate the axon diameter. There are three major NF subunits, and the names given to these subunits are based upon the apparent molecular mass of the mammalian subunits on SDS-PAGE. The light or lowest NF (NF-L) runs at 68-70 kD. The medium or middle NF (NF-M) runs at about 145-160 kD, and the heavy or highest NF (NF-H) runs at 200-220 kD. However, the actual molecular weight of these proteins is considerably lower due to the highly charged C-terminal regions of the molecules. The level of NF gene expression correlates with the axonal diameter, which controls how fast electrical signals travel down the axon. Mutant mice with NF abnormalities have phenotypes resembling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. NF immunostaining is common in diagnostic neuropathology. It is useful for differentiating neurons (positive for NF) from the glia (negative for NF).
