Conjugation ready
Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

Sandwich ELISA
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Supplementary information

Neurofilament is a type of intermediate filament found in neurons predominantly within the axons. Known also as neurofilament protein it has several subunits including NF-L (neurofilament light) NF-M (medium) and NF-H (heavy) with NF-L often used in research contexts. NF-L mouse models and antibodies such as anti-NFL help in the study of neuronal structure. The mass of NF-L is about 68 kilodaltons. Neurofilament protein is highly expressed in neurons and plays an important role in maintaining the structural framework of the axon.
Biological function summary

Neurofilaments are important for providing structural support to neurons and are involved in maintaining the caliber of axons. They form a complex with the other intermediate filaments and microtubules which are essential for proper neuronal function. This complex is vital for the assembly and structural integrity of the cytoskeleton affecting intracellular transport and cellular mechanics ensuring proper communication within neural circuits.

Pathways

Neurofilaments function in the neuronal cytoskeleton maintenance and are involved in the motor protein pathways. They interact with proteins such as kinesin and dynein for axonal transport which is essential for moving organelles proteins and other cargoes between the cell body and axon terminals. Neurofilament proteins acting through these pathways ensure effective communication across neuronal networks impacting overall nerve function and health.

Neurofilament levels are valuable biomarkers for neurological conditions such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Alzheimer's disease. In Alzheimer's disease neurofilament pathology outlines alterations that associate with tau and amyloid-beta proteins which are hallmark features of the disorder. Similarly in ALS elevated neurofilament levels indicate neuronal damage correlating with the disease's progression and severity. Neurofilament staining in tissues via immunohistochemistry (neurofilament IHC) provides insights into these diseases aiding both diagnosis and monitoring of disease progression.

Product protocols

Target data

Neurofilaments usually contain three intermediate filament proteins : NEFL, NEFM, and NEFH which are involved in the maintenance of neuronal caliber. May additionally cooperate with the neuronal intermediate filament proteins PRPH and INA to form neuronal filamentous networks (By similarity).
