Notes

This mouse monoclonal chimeric antibody has been engineered from a RabMAb parent antibody (Anti-NeuN antibody [EPR12763] - Neuronal Marker ab177487). By necessity, some rabbit sequence is retained as part of the variable domain. When multiplexing with other rabbit-derived antibodies, using cross absorbed Fc-reactive secondary antibodies are recommended.

Activity summary

NeuN also known as Fox-3 or Rbfox3 serves as a vital neuronal marker and has a molecular weight of about 46-50 kDa. This nuclear protein is commonly found in neuronal cells in the central nervous system but it does not appear in glial cells. Researchers use NeuN staining as an effective tool to identify neurons in various brain regions due to its reliable expression pattern in mature neurons. The presence of NeuN can be detected using methods such as NeuN IHC (immunohistochemistry) and NeuN Western blot aiding in cellular and tissue analysis.

Biological function summary

NeuN plays an essential role in the regulation of RNA-binding influencing the splicing and stability of transcripts. It forms part of the complex network responsible for managing neuron-specific gene expression. By interacting with other RNA-binding proteins NeuN contributes to the fine-tuning needed for proper neuronal development and function. As a result NeuN helps maintain the health and activity of nerve cells allowing them to perform complex neurological tasks.

Pathways

NeuN has a significant role in neuronal differentiation and plasticity pathways. NeuN coordinates with elements of the Notch signaling pathway which is important for guiding cell fate decisions in the nervous system. It also interacts with related proteins like Fox proteins involved in splicing regulation. These pathways ensure neurons develop differentiate and function correctly within the nervous system's precise architecture.

Associated diseases and disorders

Disruptions in NeuN expression link closely to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Abnormal NeuN expression correlates with neuron loss and dysfunction in these conditions with connectivity to other affected proteins like alpha-synuclein in Parkinson's disease. In ALS abnormal NeuN-staining patterns indicate neuronal cell death serving as a potential marker for disease progression. Studying these connections improves our understanding of disease mechanisms and aids in the development of targeted therapies.

    Immunofluorescence staining of NeuN using ab279296 in human SHSY5Y cells. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 5 mins and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab279296 at 1.0 μg/ml. Cells were then incubated with Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150117, Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The secondary only control (bottom row) was not incubated with ab279296 but otherwise processed the same. Images were acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-NeuN antibody [EPR12763] - Mouse IgG2a (Chimeric) (ab279296)

    IHC image of NeuN staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human cerebral cortex performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab279296, 1ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature. A rabbit anti-mouse IgG2a, was added for 8 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated goat anti-rabbit compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.
    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
