Anti-Neurofilament medium polypeptide (NF-M) Antibody
Our Anti-Neurofilament medium polypeptide (NF-M) rabbit polyclonal primary antibody detects bovine, chicken, horse, human, mouse, pig, and rat Neurofilament medium polypeptide (NF-M), and is whole serum. It is validated for use in IF, ICC, IHC, WB.



Image of a rat cerebellum section by Immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. The section was stained with R-1395-50, Neurofilament medium polypeptide (NF-M), Rabbit pAb, (red, 1:2,000) and co-stained with product M-1650-100, Growth associated protein 43 (GAP43), Mouse mAb, (green, 1:2,000). Method: Following transcardial perfusion of rat with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post-fixed for 24 hours, cut to 45 um, and free-floating section was stained. The NF-M antibody strongly labels neuronal processes throughout the cerebellum, while the GAP43 antibody stains predominantly synaptic regions in the molecular layer.

Product Details
Neurofilament medium polypeptide (NF-M)
Neurofilaments are the 10 nm or intermediate filament proteins found specifically in neurons, and are composed predominantly of three major proteins called NF-L, NF-M and NF-H, though other filament proteins may be included also. The major function of neurofilaments is likely to control the diameter of large axons. NF-L is the neurofilament light or low molecular weight polypeptide and runs on SDS-PAGE gels at 68-70 kDa with some variability across species. Antibodies to NF-L are useful for identifying neuronal cells and their processes in cell culture and sectioned material. NF-L antibody can also be useful for the visualization of neurofilament rich accumulations seen in many neurological diseases, such as Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS), giant axon neuropathy, Charcot-Marie Tooth disease and others.

Spin vial briefly before opening. Reconstitute with 50 µL sterile-filtered, ultrapure water. Centrifuge to remove any insoluble material. Store lyophilized antibody at 2-8°C After reconstitution of lyophilized antibody, aliquot and store at -20°C for a higher stability. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Store at 4°C for up to one month for short term storage and frequent use.
