ZooMAb® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.
特異性
Clone GA5 is a ZooMAb® mouse recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). It targets an epitope within the C-terminal region.
免疫原
Purified Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) from pig spinal cord.

標靶描述
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (UniProt: F1RR02; also known as GFAP) is encoded by the GFAP gene (Gene ID: 396562) in porcine species. GFAP is a class-III intermediate filament, monomeric, protein that serves as a cell-specific marker that can distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells and is considered as a good marker of astroglial injury where its levels are constantly upregulated. It is not detected outside the central nervous system. However, in traumatic brain injury, blood GFAP levels have been correlated with clinical severity and extent of intracranial pathology. Its levels are also shown to be upregulated with age in rodents and humans. Hence, it can serve as a surrogate marker of aging in the brain. GFAP has a relatively slow metabolic turnover rate, which is consistent with its structural role. It is composed of three distinct regions: an N-terminal head region, a central ROD region, and a C-terminal tail region. The ROD regions are highly conserved among intermediate
外觀
Purified recombinant mouse monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.
重構
30 µg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
儲存和穩定性
Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
