Neurofilaments contain three intermediate filament proteins: light (68 kDa), medium (160 kDa) and heavy (200 kDa). Neurofilament heavy (NF200 or NF-H) is phosphorylated and it is thought that this results in the formation of interfilament cross bridges that are important in the maintenance of axonal caliber.
The specificity of this antibody has been confirmed by WB. This antibody recognises phosphorylated NF-H KSP (lysine-serine-proline) type sequences. In some species there is some cross-reactivity with the related KSP sequences found in subunit NF-M.
Application Information:
Western Blotting (WB) and Immunocytochemistry (IC). Suggested dilution for WB of 1:5,000-10,000. This antibody recognises NF-H in frozen sections, tissue culture and in formalin-fixed sections. Suggested dilution for IC is 1:500-1,000. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.
