[Histonet] Neurofilament Question

[Kathleen Roberts]

I have not used this one personally,but I have used antibodies against 
individual neurofilaments from this same company (before they were taken 
over by Covance), and they were excellent.  If I'm reading this right, 
it IS a cocktail.  Still pricey, but it might be worth a try.  Maybe you 
can get a sample before you buy?  I don't know if Covance does that, but 
it can't hurt to ask.
