Human NF-M Antibody Summary

Species Reactivity

Human

Specificity

Detects human NF-M in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs and Western blots, approximately 5% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) NF-H and rhNF-L is observed.

Source

Polyclonal Sheep IgG

Purification

Antigen Affinity-purified

Immunogen

E. coli-derived recombinant human NF-M
Ser2-Ser358
Accession # P07197

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS with Trehalose. *Small pack size (SP) is supplied either lyophilized or as a 0.2 µm filtered solution in PBS.

Label

Unconjugated

Applications

Recommended Concentration

Sample

Western Blot

NF‑M is specifically detected in HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma parental cell line but is not detectable in NF‑M knockout HeLa cell line.

Immunohistochemistry

5-15 µg/mL

Immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human brain (cerebellum and cortex)

Knockout Validated

NF‑M is specifically detected in HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma parental cell line but is not detectable in NF‑M knockout HeLa cell line.

Please Note: Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. General Protocols are available in the Technical Information section on our website.

Western Blot Shows Human NF‑M Specificity by Using Knockout Cell Line. Western blot shows lysates of HeLa human cervical epithelial carcinoma parental cell line and NF-M knockout HeLa cell line (KO). PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Sheep Anti-Human NF-M Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3029) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Sheep IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF016). A specific band was detected for NF-M at approximately 155 kDa (as indicated) in the parental HeLa cell line, but is not detectable in knockout HeLa cell line. GAPDH (Catalog # AF5718) is shown as a loading control. This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: NF-M

Human NF-M (neurofilament-medium length) is a 145‑150 kDa phosphorylated glycoprotein that belongs to the type IV intermediate filament family. It is 915 amino acids in length and contains a 100 amino acid (aa) N-terminal globular region, a 320 aa alpha -helical rod, or central region, and a 500 aa globular tail. The rod region contains a series of heptad repeats that contribute to a coiled-coil interaction with an adjacent NF-M molecule, the first step in intermediate filament oligomerization. The C-terminus shows phosphorylation and O-linked glycosylation. Human NF-M aa 2‑358, which includes most of the rod region, shares ~98% aa sequence identity with corresponding region of mouse, rat and canine NF-M.
