GFAP Antibody / Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein

• Catalog Number: orb2641264
• Category: Antibodies
• Description: This mAb recognizes a protein of ~50kDa which is identified as Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP). It shows no cross-reaction with other intermediate filament proteins. GFAP is specifically found in astroglia. GFAP is a very popular marker for localizing benign astrocyte and neoplastic cells of glial origin in the central nervous system. Antibody to GFAP is useful in differentiating primary gliomas from metastatic lesions in the brain and for documenting astrocytic differentiation in tumors outside the CNS.

Flow cytometry testing of fixed human T98G cells with Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein antibody (clone GFAP/2076); Red = isotype control, Blue = Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein antibody.

IHC testing of FFPE human cerebellum stained with Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein antibody (GFAP/2076). Required HIER: boiling tissue sections in pH9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min.

Analysis of HuProt (TM) microarray containing more than 19, 000 full-length human proteins using Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein antibody (clone GFAP/2076). These results demonstrate the foremost specificity of the GFAP/2076 mAb. Z- and S- score: The Z-score represents the strength of a signal that an antibody (in combination with a fluorescently-tagged anti-IgG secondary Ab) produces when binding to a particular protein on the HuProt (TM) array. Z-scores are described in units of standard deviations (SD's) above the mean value of all signals generated on that array. If the targets on the HuProt (TM) are arranged in descending order of the Z-score, the S-score is the difference (also in units of SD's) between the Z-scores. The S-score therefore represents the relative target specificity of an Ab to its intended target.
