General description

Galactocerebroside (GalC) is a major galactosphingolipid of myelin which plays a role in myelination. GalC is a very useful, specific marker for oligodendroglial lineage.

Specificity

Galactocerebroside (GalC), sulfatide, psychosine and other galactolipids. Cross-reacts with the sulfatide ester of GalC, but to a 16-fold lesser extent. No cross-reactivity with sphingosine, ceramide, mixed ganglioside or glucocerebroside. Binds specifically with oligodendrocytes and Schwann cells.

Immunogen

Application

Anti-Galactocerebroside Antibody, clone mGalC is an antibody against Galactocerebroside for use in ELISA, IC, & IHC.
Immunohistochemistry:
0.5-10 μg/mL of a previous lot was used on formalin fixed frozen sections of a prevous lot. Can not be used on paraffin embedded tissue sections since the antigen is denatured during embedding and paraffin removal.

Immunocytochemistry:
0.5-10 μg/mL of a previous lot was used on 4% paraformaldehyde, acetic acid or ethanol fixed cultured cells.

ELISA:
A previous lot was used on purified galactocerebrosides.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

The successive stages of development from oligodendrocyte progenitor to mature oligodendrocyte have been investigated in detail by using stage-specific antibodies. However, no cell lines are available that show stepwise differentiation from oligodendrocyte progenitors to mature oligodendrocytes. Here we show the

Brain and vascular cells form a functionally integrated signalling network that is known as the neurovascular unit (NVU). The signalling (autocrine, paracrine and juxtacrine) between different elements of this unit, especially in humans, is difficult to disentangle in vivo. Developing
