Immunolabelling and filament dimensions of three types of neuronal cytoplasmic inclusions in NIFID

Antigen Neuronal cytoplasmic inclusion
LACI TTBI CCI
FUS ++ +++
α-Internexin* +/− (+++)
Phosphorylated NEFH* + ++ (+++)
Ubiquitin* +++ +++ (++)
Polyglutamine* (−) (−) (−)
Filament width
mean ± s.e.m. (range)
8.9 ± 0.2 (5.9-15.0) nm 9.6 ± 0.5 (5.6-12.4) nm 10.1 ± 0.7 (6.1-14.2) nm

Abbreviations: LACI, loosely aggregated cytoplasmic inclusion; TTBI, ‘tangled twine ball inclusion; CCI, compact cytoplasmic inclusion; FUS, fused in sarcoma; NEFH, neurofilament heavy polypeptide. Semi-quantitative assessment of the density of immunogold particles/filament: +++ high; ++ moderate; + low; +/− negligible; − unlabelled.
