| The 70kD neuro lament antigen is present in neurons and tumor cells of neuronal origin. Neurofilaments are a type of intermediate filament that serve as major elements of the cytoskeleton supporting the axon cytoplasm. They are the most abundant fibrillar components of the axon, being on average 3-10 times more frequent than axonal microtubules. Neurofilaments (10nm in dia.) are built from three intertwined protofibrils which are themselves composed of two tetrameric protofilament complexs of monomeric proteins. The neurofilament triplet proteins (68/70, 160, and 200kD) occur in both the central and peripheral nervous system and are usually neuron specific. The 68/70kD NF-L protein can self-assemble into a filamentous structure, however the 160kD NF-M and 200kD NF-H proteins require the presence of the 68/70kD NF-L protein to co-assemble. Neuromas, ganglioneuromas, gangliogliomas, ganglioneuroblastomas and neuroblastomas stain positively for neurofilaments. Although typically restricted to neurons, neurofilaments have been detected in paragangliomas and adrenal and extra-adrenal pheochromocytomas. Carcinoids, neuroendocrine carcinomas of the skin, and oat cell carcinomas of the lung also express neurofilaments. | | | Catalog # | N2168 | | Applications | Immunohistochemistry: (frozen)- 1:40, (paraffin)- 1:40.
