Product Name:

Mouse anti-NeuN antibody

Catalog Number:

MAB377

I needed to identify neuronal cell types in mouse brain for stereological analysis. NeuN is a mature neuronal marker that is localized in the nucleus which allows for ease of cell counting.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

50 um thick, floating, postnatal mouse brain fixed in 4% PFA overnight at 4C

Primary Incubation

1:1000 dilution in blocking agent, overnight incubation at 4C

Blocking Agent

5% normal goat serum + 0.5% Triton X100

Secondary Incubation

1:1000 dilution of secondary antibody in PBS, overnight incubation at 4C

Tertiary Incubation

N/A

Detection

Alexa fluor-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG

Results Summary

This procedure results in the nuclear labeling of neurons which can be visualized via fluorescent microscopy.
