Neuro-Chrom Pan Neuronal Marker Antibody-Rabbit, Alexa488 conjugate

Antibodies to neuronal proteins have become critical tools for identifying neurons and discerning morphological characteristics in culture and complex tissue. While the labeling from classic histological techniques such as Golgi staining and modern molecular approaches such as GFP constructs yield excellent cytoarchitectural detail, these approaches are technically challenging and impractical for many neuroscience research needs. Neuron-specific antibodies are convenient precision tools useful in revealing cytoarchitecture, but are limited to the protein target distribution within the neuron, which may differ greatly from nucleus to soma to dendrite and axon. To achieve as complete a morphological staining as possible across all parts of neurons, Millipore has developed a polyclonal antibody blend that reacts against key somatic, nuclear, dendritic, and axonal proteins distributed across the pan-neuronal architecture that can then be detected by a single secondary antibody. This antibody cocktail has been validated in diverse methods, cell culture and immuno-histochemistry, giving researchers a convenient and specific qualitative and quantitative tool for studying neuronal morphology.

Cat. # ABN2300A4 is specific to axons (neurites), dendrites, nucleus, and the cell body of neurons.

Reactivity with other species has not been determined.
