Mouse Embryonic brain slices from E17 were stained with NF-M antibody to stain the axonal fibers and trace their projections.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

Frozen embryonic mouse brain tissue (E17) and thick slices of 500 microns

Primary Incubation

1:800, 4 degrees overnight

Blocking Agent

10% Normal donkey serum in PBST (0.5% Triton X 100)

Secondary Incubation

1:500, AF 488

Tertiary Incubation

None

Detection

Immunofluorescence

Results Summary

Axonal fibers the the intermediate zone of the developing cortex were specifically labelled with anti-NF-M antibody. There was no cross reactivity to the blood vessels or other cell types.

Summary

The Good

Specific staining, good for thicker sections and brain slices.

The Bad

None

The Bottom Line

The antibody is specific and to our knowledge, so far no cross reactivity is seen. Highly recommended
