NF1 Antibody in Immunocytochemistry (ICC/IF) — Immunofluorescence analysis of Neurofibromin was done on 70% confluent log phase SH-SY5Y cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 1% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with Neurofibromin (McNFn27b) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody (Product # MA1-085) at 2 µg/mL in 0.1% BSA and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature and then labeled with Goat anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugate (Product # A28175) at a dilution of 1:2000 for 45 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI (Product # S36938). F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Alexa Fluor® 555 Rhodamine Phalloidin (Product # R415, 1:300). Panel d is a merged image showing punctate cytoplasmic localization. Panel e is a no primary antibody control. The images were captured at 60X magnification.

NF1 Antibody in Immunocytochemistry (ICC/IF) — Immunofluorescent analysis of Neurofibromin in NIH-3T3 cells. Cells were grown on chamber slides and fixed with formaldehyde prior to staining. Cells were probed without (control) or with a Neurofibromin monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-085) at a dilution of 1:20 overnight at 4 C, washed with PBS and incubated with a DyLight-488 conjugated secondary antibody (Product # 35503). Neurofibromin staining (green), F-Actin staining with Phalloidin (red) and nuclei with DAPI (blue) is shown. Images were taken at 60X magnification.

NF1 Antibody in Immunocytochemistry (ICC/IF) — Immunofluorescent analysis of Neurofibromin in U251 cells. Cells were grown on chamber slides and fixed with formaldehyde prior to staining. Cells were probed without (control) or with a Neurofibromin monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-085) at a dilution of 1:20 overnight at 4 C, washed with PBS and incubated with a DyLight-488 conjugated secondary antibody (Product # 35503). Neurofibromin staining (green), F-Actin staining with Phalloidin (red) and nuclei with DAPI (blue) is shown. Images were taken at 60X magnification.

NF1 Antibody in Immunocytochemistry (ICC/IF) — Immunofluorescent analysis of Neurofibromin in Hela cells. Cells were grown on chamber slides and fixed with formaldehyde prior to staining. Cells were probed without (control) or with a Neurofibromin monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-085) at a dilution of 1:20 overnight at 4 C, washed with PBS and incubated with a DyLight-488 conjugated secondary antibody (Product # 35503). Neurofibromin staining (green), F-Actin staining with Phalloidin (red) and nuclei with DAPI (blue) is shown. Images were taken at 60X magnification.

NF1 Antibody in Immunohistochemistry (IHC) — Immunohistochemistry was performed on cancer biopsies of deparaffinized Human breast carcinoma tissue. To expose target proteins, heat induced antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH6.0) buffer, microwaved for 8-15 minutes. Following antigen retrieval tissues were blocked in 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature and probed with a Neurofibromin monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-085) at a dilution of 1:20 or without primary antibody (negative control) overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed with PBST and endogenous peroxidase activity was quenched with a peroxidase suppressor. Detection was performed using a biotin-conjugated secondary antibody and SA-HRP, followed by colorimetric detection using DAB. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and prepped for mounting.

NF1 Antibody in Immunohistochemistry (IHC) — Immunohistochemistry was performed on normal biopsies of deparaffinized Human stomach tissue. To expose target proteins, heat induced antigen retrieval was performed using 10mM sodium citrate (pH6.0) buffer, microwaved for 8-15 minutes. Following antigen retrieval tissues were blocked in 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature and probed with a Neurofibromin monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-085) at a dilution of 1:20 or without primary antibody (negative control) overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber.

Product Specific Information

MA1-085 detects neurofibromin in human, rat, and mouse cells.

MA1-085 has been successfully used in Western blot, and immunohistochemistry procedures. By Western blot, this antibody detects a ~240-260 kDa protein.

The MA1-085 immunogen is a synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal residues 27-41 of human neurofibromin.

Target Information

The protein encoded by this gene is a type I integral membrane protein localized in the intermediate region between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi, presumably recycling between the two compartments. The protein is a mannose-specific lectin and is a member of a novel family of plant lectin homologs in the secretory pathway of animal cells. Mutations in the gene are associated with a coagulation defect. Using positional cloning, the gene was identified as the disease gene leading to combined factor V-factor VIII deficiency, a rare, autosomal recessive disorder in which both coagulation factors V and VIII are diminished.
