General description

Neurofilaments are type of intermediate filaments (IFs) that serve as major elements of the cytoskeleton supporting the axon cytoplasm of neuronal cells. IFs are components of most eukaryotic cells and significantly differ from other cytoskeletal elements of the cell, namely microtubules and microfilaments.

Specificity

Monoclonal Anti-Neurofilament 200, also known as Neurofilament-H or Heavy subunit, specifically recognizes the phosphorylated H tail of Neurofilament 200 and shows no reactivity on enzymatically dephosphorylated neurofilaments.2 The antibody shows reactivity with neurofilaments in the central and peripheral nervous systems from human1, pig1, mouse3, rat4, chicken3, guinea pig3, feline3 and bovine3 origin.

Immunogen

Neurofilaments purified from pig spinal cord

Application

The antibody may be used in various immunochemical techniques including Immunohistochemistry and Immunoblotting (~200 kDa).1-7

Biochem/physiol Actions

Neurofilaments undergo post-translational modifications including different levels of phosphorylation, which has been suggested to modulate their function by influencing the interaction between neurofilament and cytoplasmic organelles. Neurofilaments are built from three intertwined protofibrils of apparent molecular weights [68 (L), 160 (M) and 200 (H) kDa] which are themselves composed of two tetrameric protofilament complexes of monomeric proteins. Neurofilament 200 also known as Neurofilament heavy polypeptide (H-subunit), NF-H, NEFH or 200 kDa neurofilament protein, has an important function in mature axons that is not subserved by the two smaller neurofilament proteins.

Physical form

Supplied as a solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide as a preservative.

Storage and Stability

For continuous use, store at 2-8°C for up to one month. For extended storage, freeze in working aliquots. Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. If slight turbidity occurs upon prolonged storage, clarify the solution by centrifugation before use. Working dilution samples should be discarded if not used within 12 hours. Protect from prolonged exposure to light.

Neurofilament phosphorylation in rat nervous system development was studied by indirect immunofluorescence with monoclonal antibodies reacting with phosphorylated epitopes in tissue sections and in primary dissociated cultures. The antibodies either decorated neurofilaments shortly after their appearance or after a considerable

A panel of 10 mouse monoclonal antibodies specific for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFA) has been isolated using porcine GFA as antigen. Although all antibodies recognize GFA purified from porcine spinal cord in the western blot technique, they can be

The work of the Sternbergers and their colleagues has shown that monoclonal antibodies reactive with neurofilament subunit proteins may be sensitive to the state of phosphorylation of these proteins. We therefore examined the ability of our previously described panel of

Observational cross-section study. The objective of our study was to determine if phosphorylation of aggregated neurofilaments (NFs) would occur in autoimmune-mediated motor neuron injury. Our main hypothesis was that autoimmune-mediated damage of spinal cord motor neurons may influence NF phosphorylation

Neurofilament (NF) protein expression is coupled to axon development and the maintenance of neuronal homeostasis. Here, we present evidence that this tight regulation depends critically on post-transcriptionally regulated changes in NF mRNA transport, translation and stability. Recent studies have shown
