1_SMI-32_PURE_NF-H_Antibody_IHC-P_011218
IHC staining of purified anti-Neurofilament H (NF-H), Nonphosphorylated antibody (clone SMI 32) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded mouse brain tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Retrieval-ALL Antigen Unmasking System 3 (Cat. No. 927601), the tissue was incubated with 1 µg/ml of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C. BioLegend’s Ultra Streptavidin (USA) HRP Detection Kit (Multi-Species, DAB, Cat. No. 929901) was used for detection followed by hematoxylin counterstaining, according to the protocol provided. The image was captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50µm

Description

Neurofilaments (NF) are approximately 10 nanometer intermediate filaments found in neurons. They are a major component of the neuronal cytoskeleton, and function primarily to provide structural support for the axon and to regulate the axon diameter. There are three major NF subunits, and the names given to these subunits are based upon the apparent molecular mass of the mammalian subunits on SDS-PAGE. The light or lowest NF (NF-L) runs at 68-70 kD. The medium or middle NF (NF-M) runs at about 145-160 kD, and the heavy or highest NF (NF-H) runs at 200-220 kD. However, the actual molecular weight of these proteins is considerably lower due to the highly charged C-terminal regions of the molecules. The level of NF gene expression correlates with the axonal diameter, which controls how fast electrical signals travel down the axon. Mutant mice with NF abnormalities have phenotypes resembling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. NF immunostaining is common in diagnostic neuropathology. It is useful for differentiating neurons (positive for NF) from the glia (negative for NF).

Recommended Usage

Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded immunohistochemical staining. For immunohistochemistry, a concentration range of 1.0 - 5.0 µg/ml is suggested. For Western blotting, the suggested use of this reagent is 1.0 - 5.0 µg per ml. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.

Application Notes

Additional reported applications (for the relevant formats) include Western blotting6, immunohistochemistry4,5, immunocytochemistry1,2,3, 7, array tomography8.

Cross-reactivity to monkey tissue has been Reported in the literature, not verified in house4.

This antibody reacts with a nonphosphorylated epitope in neurofilament H of most mammalian species. The reaction is masked when the epitope is phosphorylated. The staining of isolated neurofilament preparations is greatly intensified upon dephosphorylation. Immunocytochemically, SMI 32 visualizes neuronal cell bodies, dendrites, and some thick axons in the central and peripheral nervous systems. However, thin axons are not revealed. Other cells and tissues are unreactive. The antibody distinguishes three subdivisions of the macaque precentral motor cortex. The greater size of the left versus the right superior temporal lobe was found to be due to increased axonal myelination and not due to increased number of glial cells or SMI 32-enumerated neurons, suggesting that the specialization for language in the left temporal lobe is related to increased speed of signal transmission. In cultures of murine cortex, SMI 32 labels a neuronal population with enhanced vulnerability to kainate toxicity most of which are GABAergic and reveal kainate-activated Ca2+ uptake.

Antigen Details

Structure
Neurofilament H has an apparent molecular mass of 200-220 kD.
Distribution

Tissue distribution: CNS, peripheral nerves and glandular cells of the prostate
Cellular distribution: Cytoskeleton, nucleus, cytosol, and mitochondrion

Function
NF-H Neurofilaments are the major components of the neuronal cytoskeleton. They provide axonal support and regulate axon diameter. Phosphorylation of NF-H results in the formation of interfilament cross bridges that are important in the maintenance of axonal caliber.
Receptors
Phosphorylation seems to play a major role in the functioning of the larger neurofilament polypeptides (NF-M and NF-H), the levels of phosphorylation result in changes to the neurofilament function.
Cell Type
Mature Neurons
Biology Area
Cell Biology, Neuroscience, Neuroscience Cell Markers
Molecular Family
Intermediate Filaments, Phospho-Proteins

Related FAQs

If an antibody clone has been previously successfully used in IBEX in one fluorescent format, will other antibody formats work as well?

It’s likely that other fluorophore conjugates to the same antibody clone will also be compatible with IBEX using the same sample fixation procedure. Ultimately a directly conjugated antibody’s utility in fluorescent imaging and IBEX may be specific to the sample and microscope being used in the experiment. Some antibody clone conjugates may perform better than others due to performance differences in non-specific binding, fluorophore brightness, and other biochemical properties unique to that conjugate.

Will antibodies my lab is already using for fluorescent or chromogenic IHC work in IBEX?

Fundamentally, IBEX as a technique that works much in the same way as single antibody panels or single marker IF/IHC. If you’re already successfully using an antibody clone on a sample of interest, it is likely that clone will have utility in IBEX. It is expected some optimization and testing of different antibody fluorophore conjugates will be required to find a suitable format; however, legacy microscopy techniques like chromogenic IHC on fixed or frozen tissue is an excellent place to start looking for useful antibodies.

Are other fluorophores compatible with IBEX?

Over 18 fluorescent formats have been screened for use in IBEX, however, it is likely that other fluorophores are able to be rapidly bleached in IBEX. If a fluorophore format is already suitable for your imaging platform it can be tested for compatibility in IBEX.

The same antibody works in one tissue type but not another. What is happening?

Differences in tissue properties may impact both the ability of an antibody to bind its target specifically and impact the ability of a specific fluorophore conjugate to overcome the background fluorescent signal in a given tissue. Secondary stains, as well as testing multiple fluorescent conjugates of the same clone, may help to troubleshoot challenging targets or tissues. Using a reference control tissue may also give confidence in the specificity of your staining.

How can I be sure the staining I’m seeing in my tissue is real?

In general, best practices for validating an antibody in traditional chromogenic or fluorescent IHC are applicable to IBEX. Please reference the Nature Methods review on antibody based multiplexed imaging for resources on validating antibodies for IBEX.
