Background Information
NeuN, encoded by FOX3, is a neuron-specific nuclear protein. Anti-NeuN stains exclusively neuronal cells in the central and peripheral nervous systems, especially postmitotic and differentiating neurons, as well as terminally differentiated neurons. Anti-NeuN has been used widely as a reliable tool to detect most postmitotic neuronal cell types. The immunohistochemical staining is primarily localized in the nucleus of the neurons with lighter staining in the cytoplasm.

FH Deng (Verified Customer) (08-14-2025) | it works, but has some background (see image in mouse PVN region)
![]() |
FH Carla (Verified Customer) (02-03-2025) | We didn't have any good results
|
FH Kenzo (Verified Customer) (01-05-2024) | This monoclonal NeuN worked well for mouse tissues.
|
FH Silvia (Verified Customer) (08-11-2022) | it works well for Immunofluorescence on mature neurons
|
FH Delphine (Verified Customer) (07-25-2022) | Immunohistochemistry with the NeuN antibody on frozen spinal cord worked but the labeling must be optimized because there is a lot of background noise.
|
FH q (Verified Customer) (01-05-2022) | It is OK to use it in WB, but several non-specific bands above the expected MW.
