Neurofilament NF-M

Culture of adult neural cells. Mature neurons can be identified by their morphology and because they stain strongly with antibodies to NF-L, NF-M and NF-H. The surrounding stellate red cells are stained with Neurofilament alpha-internexin/NF66. These are apparently mitotic neuronal progenitor cells and express many other neuronal markers.
