Opis

General description

50 kDa

Glial fibrillary acidic protein is a class-III intermediate filament. GFAP is the main constituent of intermediate filaments in astrocytes and serves as a cell specific marker that distinguishes differentiated astrocytes from other glial cells during the development of the central nervous system.

Immunogen

Purified bovine GFAP

Application

Anti-Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) Antibody is an antibody against Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) for use in IC, IH, IH(P) with more than 65 product citations.

Immunohistochemistry(paraffin):
Representative images from a previous lot.

Immunocytochemistry:
A 1:1,000 dilution of a previous lot was used in Immunocytochemistry.

Research Category
Neuroscience

Research Sub Category
Neuronal & Glial Markers

Biochem/physiol Actions

It is expected that the antibody will react with most mammalian GFAP due to homology. Reactivity with other species has not been confirmed.

Recognizes Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP).

Physical form

Rabbit serum. Liquid. Contains no preservative.

Unpurified

Preparation Note

Stable for 1 year at -20°C undiluted aliquots from date of receipt.
Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt, and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.

Analysis Note

Control
Mouse brain tissue, rat astrocytes, rat neurons.

Routinely evaluated by immunohistochemistry on brain tissue, astrocytes, and neurons.

Immunohistochemistry(paraffin) Analysis:
GFAP (IHC2078) staining of Human Brain. Tissue pretreated with Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0. Pre-diluted polyclonal antibody, using IHC-Select Detection with HRP-DAB. Glial cells stain strongly (brown).
Optimal Staining with Citrate Buffer Epitope Retrieval: Human Brain
