HGNC name: NEFL RRID: AB_2572362 Immunogen: Enzymatically dephosphorylated full length pig NF-L Format: Purified antibody at 1mg/ mL in 50% PBS, 50% glycerol plus 5mM NaN3 Storage: Store at 4°C for short term, for longer term at -20°C. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles. Recommended dilutions: WB: 1:5,000. IF/ICC and IHC: 1:1,000. Western blot analysis of whole tissue lysates using mouse mAb Immunofluorescent analysis of rat frontal cortex section stained to NF-L, MCA-DA2, dilution 1:5,000 in green: [1] protein standard with mouse mAb to NF-L, MCA-DA2, dilution 1:500 in red, (red), [2] rat brain, [3] rat spinal cord, [4] mouse brain, [5] mouse and costained with chicken pAb to GFAP, CPCA-GFAP, dilution spinal cord. The strong band at about 70 kDa corresponds to NF- 1:5,000 in green.

NF-L is the Neurosci Res. 30:105-15 1991. neurofilament light or low molecular weight polypeptide and runs on SDS-PAGE gels at about 68 kDa. 3. Bongarzone ER, et al. Two neuronal Antibodies to NF-L are useful for identifying neuronal cells and their processes in tissue sections and in tissue cell lines expressing the myelin basic culture. NF-L antibody can also be useful in the diagnostics of neurofilament accumulations seen in many protein gene display differences in their neurological diseases, such as Lou Gehrig’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Mutations in the protein coding in vitro survival and in their response to region of the human NF-L gene cause some forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. This antibody has been glia.
