NF-L Antibody (NR-4) [Biotin] Summary

• Description: This conjugate is made on demand and is not held in inventory. Each order represents a unique lot. All conjugates are generated using validated conjugation protocols and meet strict degree of labeling (F/P) specifications; additional information is available upon request. The antibody concentration is provided on the individual product label.
  
  For specialized conjugation needs, like large quantities, specific concentrations, and defined F/P ratios, bulk and custom antibody conjugation services are available.
• Immunogen: Crude neurofilament preparation from porcine spinal cord
• Localization: Cytoplasmic
• Marker: Neuronal Marker
• Specificity: This monoclonal antibody reacts with a 68kDa protein, identified as light sub-unit of neurofilaments (NF-L). Neurofilaments make up the main structural elements of axons and dendrites and are found in neurons, peripheral nerves, and sympathetic ganglion cells. Neurofilaments consist of three major subunits with molecular weights of 68kDa (NF-L), 160kDa (NF-M) and 200kDa (NF-H). Anti-neurofilament stains a number of neural, neuroendocrine, and endocrine tumors. Neuromas, ganglioneuromas, gangliogliomas, ganglioneuroblastomas, and neuroblastomas stain positively for anti-neurofilament. Neurofilaments are also present in paragangliomas as well as adrenal and extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas. Carcinoids, neuroendocrine carcinomas of the skin, and oat cell carcinomas of the lung also express neurofilament.

Background

Neurofilaments are 10nm intermediate filament proteins located in vertebrate neurons, which regulate axonal diameter. They are composed predominantly of the three major neurofilament proteins: NF-Light, NF-Medium and NF-Heavy. NF-L is the light or low molecular weight polypeptide, and it runs on SDS-PAGE gels at about 68kDa, with some size variation in across species.

Antibodies to NF-L may be used to identify NF-L in neurons and to study neuronal processes in tissue sections and/or culture. NF-L antibodies can also be used to study microfilament accumulations seen in many neurological diseases, such as Lou Geri's disease or Alzheimer's disease.
