Immunohistological analysis of a rat cerebellum section stained with ab4680 at a dilution 1:5,000 in red, and co-stained with rabbit pAb to GFAP at a dilution 1:5,000 in green. The blue is DAPI staining of nuclear DNA.

Following transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde, brain was post fixed for 24 hours, cut to 45 μM, and free floating sections were stained.

All lanes : Anti-Neurofilament heavy polypeptide antibody (ab4680) at 1/20000 dilution

Lane 1 : Rat spinal cord lysate
Lane 2 : Mouse spinal cord lysate
Lane 3 : Cow spinal cord lysate

Predicted band size: 200-220 kDa

Mixed neuron/glial cultures stained with a mouse monoclonal antibody to neurofilament subunit NF-L (green) and ab4680, chicken antibody to neurofilament heavy polypeptide. This antibody binds primarily to the phosphorylated axonal forms of NF-H, in contrast to the NF-L antibody which stains both axonal and dendritic/perikaryal neurofilaments. The NF-L antibody therefore reveals a prominent cell body in green, while the surrounding axonal profiles are orange, since the are bound by both NF-L and the chicken NF-H antibody. Blue is a DNA stain.

Human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells stained with chicken anti-NF-H (red) and mouse monoclonal to fibrillarin 38F3 (green). Nuclear DNA is revealed with Hoechst dye (blue). The NF-H antibody was used at a dilution of 1/100000 and the fibrillarin monoclonal at 1/1000. Cultures were processed using our standard fixation and staining procedure (in protocol section).

Rat Neurons stained with chicken anti-NF-H (green). The NF-H antibody was used at a dilution of 1/100000 using our standard fixation and staining procedure (in protocol section).
