GFAP Antibody / Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein

• Catalog Number: orb606416
• 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.
• Clonality: Recombinant
• Species/Host: Mouse
• Isotype: Mouse IgG1, kappa
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Reactivity: Human, Rat
• Immunogen: GFAP isolated from pig spinal cord was used as the immunogen for this recombinant Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein antibody.
• UniProt ID: P14136
• Tested applications: FACS, IHC-P, WB
• Dilution range: Flow cytometry: 1-2ug/million cells,Western blot: 1-2ug/ml,Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.25-0.5ug/ml for 30 min at RT
• Application notes: The optimal dilution of the recombinant Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.1. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
