Orderable Test Description
Neurofilaments (NFs) are the intermediate filaments of neurons and their processes. NFs are expressed in tumors of neural origin or tumors displaying neuronal differentiation, such as neuroblastoma, medulloblastoma and retinoblastoma. This antibody labels neurons, neuronal processes and peripheral nerves, as well as sympathetic ganglion cells and adrenal medulla. The cell body of neurons, containing the non-phosphorylated neurofilament, is weakly stained.
