Target

  • Relevance

    Neurofilaments are the 10nm or intermediate filament proteins found specifically in neurons, and are composed predominantly of three major proteins called neurofilament light (NF-L), neurofilament medium (NF-M) and neurofilament heavy (NF-H). Neurofilament medium runs on SDS-PAGE gels in the range 145-170 kDa, with some variation in different species. Antibodies to this protein are useful to identify neurons and their processes in tissue sections and in tissue culture. Neurofilament medium can also be useful in studies of neurofilament accumulations seen in many neurological diseases, such as Lou Gehrig's disease or Alzheimer's disease.

    Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab7794 observed at 150 kDa. Red - loading control, ab52866, observed at 50 kDa.

    ab7794 was shown to specifically react with NEFM (Neurofilament) in wild-type HEK-293 cells as signal was lost in NEFM knockout cells. Wild-type and NEFM knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. The membrane was blocked with 3% NF Milk. Ab7794 and ab52866 (Rabbit anti alpha Tubulin loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/1000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216772 and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216777 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and antigen retrieval was by heat mediation in a citrate buffer. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/500 in Da Vinci Green diluent) for 16 hours at 4°C. An undiluted HRP-conjugated mouse polymer was used as the secondary antibody. Tyrosin Hydroxylase was stainded green with ab112

    ICC/IF image of ab7794 stained PC12 cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab7794, 1æg/ml) overnight at +4øC. The secondary antibody (green)ÿwas Alexa Fluor© 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor© 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43æM.

Answer

The originator of ab7794 uses cell brain lysate (pig or mouse) as a positive control in Western blots. If you have any more questions, please contact us again.
