GFAP antibody (CF®647)

Catalog No. ABIN6180653

Product Details anti-GFAP Antibody (CF®647)

Target: GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP))

Reactivity: Human, Rat, Mouse, Pig, Cow, Chicken, Rabbit

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This GFAP antibody is conjugated to CF®647

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Sections) (IHC (f))

Purpose: Mouse Monoclonal anti-GFAP (GA-5), CF647 Conjugate

Characteristics: This MAb recognizes a protein of ~50 kDa 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. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® dyes and other labels. CF® dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.

Immunogen: GFAP isolated from pig spinal cord

Clone: GA-5

Application Details

Application Notes: Immunohistology formalin-fixed 0.25-0.5 μg/mL

• Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer,  pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes
• Flow Cytometry 0.5-1 μg/million cells/0.1 mL
• Immunofluorescence 1-2 μg/mL
• Western blotting 0.5-1 μg/mL
• Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
