Background
Human Perpherin is a 53,651 dalton protein (470 amino acids) expressed in all PNS neurons and some CNS neurons, including a subset of cortical neurons, hippocampal neurons, and ventral horn spinal cord motor neurons. At an ultrastructural level, peripherin immunoreactivity is associated with the neurofilament portion of the cytoskeleton, being particularly abundant in the cell body. Peripherin protein has been shown to undergo upregulation during periods of trophic stress in cultured neurons, and mutations of the peripherin gene have been associated with the neurodegenerative disease amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Description
Full-length recombinant peripherin was injected into laying hens, and then the IgY fraction was purified from hyperimmunized animals. These antibodies have been validated with human, mouse and rat tissues.

Format
IgY Fraction
Buffer
Phosphate-buffered (10 mM) isotonic (0.9%, w/v) saline ("PBS" pH 7.2) with bovine serum albumin (BSA, 0.5%) added to prevent absorption to the plastic and sodium azide (0.02%, w/v) added as a preservative
Molecular Weight
60 kDa
Shipping Conditions
Ice packs
Storage Conditions
Store at 4°C in the dark. Under these conditions, the antibodies should have a shelf life of at least twelve months, provided they remain sterile. For longer term storage, aliquot and freeze to avoid freeze-thaw of the antibody.
Notes
Chickens were immunized with full-length recombinant peripherin protein. After repeated injections into the hens, immune eggs were collected, and the IgY fractions were purified from the yolks.
IHC Dilution
1:2000-1:5000
WB Dilution
1:2000-1:5000
ICC Dilution
1:2000-1:5000
Quality Control
Quality assurance analysis was performed using immunohistochemistry (at a dilution of 1:10000) using fluorescein-labeled goat anti-chicken IgY (1:500 dilution, Aves Labs Cat.# F-1005) as the secondary reagent.
Recommended Usage
These antibodies are to be used as research laboratory reagents and are not for use as diagnostic or therapeutic reagents in humans.
