Neurofilaments are the 10nm or intermediate filament proteins found specifically in neurons, and are composed predominantly of three major proteins called NF-L, NF-M and NF-H, though other filament proteins may be included also.
The major function of neurofilaments is likely to control the diameter of large axons (1).
NF-L is the neurofilament light or low molecular weight polypeptide and runs on SDS-PAGE gels at 68-70kD with some variability across species.
Antibodies to NF-L like 046201 are useful for identifying neuronal cells and their processes in cell culture and sectioned material.
NF-L antibody can also be useful for the visualization of neurofilament rich accumulations seen in many neurological diseases, such as Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS), giant axon neuropathy, Charcot-Marie Tooth disease and others (2-4).
Much interest has recently been focused on the detection of NF-L released from neurons into blood and CSF as a surrogate marker of primarily axonal loss in a variety of types of CNS injury and degeneration (5).
