Neurofilament H Phosphorylated (<strong>SMI</strong> <strong>34</strong>)<br />

<strong>Monoclonal</strong> <strong>Antibody</strong><br />

Catalog Number: <strong>SMI</strong>-<strong>34</strong>R<br />

Available Size: 0.1 mL, 0.5 mL<br />

Specificity:<br />

<strong>SMI</strong> <strong>34</strong> reacts with a phosphorylated epitope in extensively phosphorylated neurofilament H and, to a lesser extent, with<br />

neurofilament M in most mammalian species, as well as in chicken. Immunocytochemically, <strong>SMI</strong> <strong>34</strong> reacts broadly with thick and<br />

thin axons and some dendrites such as basket cell dendrites, but not Purkinje cell dendrites. Nerve cell bodies are generally<br />

unreactive. Other cells and tissues are unreactive except for peripheral axons. Phosphatase treatment of tissue sections or<br />

Western blots abolishes reaction with <strong>SMI</strong> <strong>34</strong>. Staining is unaffected by trypsin. In pathological conditions, reaction with <strong>SMI</strong> <strong>34</strong><br />

may be found also in neuronal cell bodies. In Alzheimer's disease, <strong>SMI</strong> <strong>34</strong> reacts with intraneuronal tangles but does not react<br />

with extraneuronal (ghost) tangles. It is the only antiphosphoneurofilament that reacts regularly with Alzheimer tangles. It does<br />

not cross-react at concentrations of 1:20,000 with Alzheimer MAP-Tau in immunoblots, demonstrating, thereby, the presence of<br />

neurofilaments in Alzheimer tangles.<br />

Uses:<br />

This antibody is effective in immunoblotting (WB), immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemistry (IHC) and ELISA. These<br />

antibodies can be used for neurofilament detection in trypsin-treated tissue.<br />

Suggested Working Dilution:<br />

The optimal working dilution should be determined for each specific assay condition.<br />

• Western blot: 1:1,000<br />

• IHC: 1:1,000<br />

• ELISA: 1:1,000<br />

The extent of permissible dilution of <strong>SMI</strong> <strong>34</strong> beyond those recommended for general application depends upon nature and<br />

concentration of the antigen examined, species of the antigen, method of fixation and kind of section examined.<br />

Storage:<br />

Store at -20°C. Upon initial thawing, apportion into working<br />

aliquots and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw<br />

cycles to prevent denaturing the antibody. For long-term<br />

storage, keep the antibody at -80°C.<br />
