IHC Method: Following transcardial perfusion with 4% PFA, brain was post fixed for 24 hours, cut to 45 uM, and free-floating sections were stained. The alpha-internexin antibody selectively stains axons and dendrites of neuronal cells, in particular Purkinje cells, parallel fibers and the axons of granule cells, while the MBP antibody stains myelin sheathes around axons.

Product Details
Alpha-internexin (Alpha-Inx)
Neurofilaments can be defined as the intermediate or 10 nm diameter filaments found in neuronal cells. They are composed a mixture of subunits which often includes the neurofilament triplet proteins, NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. Neurofilaments may also include peripherin, alpha-internexin, nestin and in some cases vimentin. Alpha-internexin is a ~66 kDa Class IV intermediate filament subunit expressed in large amounts early in neuronal development, but is downregulated in many neurons as development procedes. Many classes of mature neurons contain alpha-internexin in addition to NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. In some mature neurons alpha-internexin is the only neurofilament subunit expressed. Antibodies to alpha-internexin are therefore unique probes to study and classify neuronal types and follow their processes in sections and in tissue culture. In addition the very early developmental expression of alpha-internexin means its presence is an early and convenient diagnostic feature of neuronal progenitors cells and other cell committed to the neuronal lineage.
