Quick Overview for GFAP antibody (ABIN6937306)

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

Reactivity: Pig

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This GFAP antibody is un-conjugated

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

Clone: GA-5

Product Details anti-GFAP Antibody

Specificity: 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.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human. Mouse. Rat. Cow. Pig. Rabbit. Chicken.

Purification: 1.0mg/ml of Ab purified from Bioreactor by Protein A/G.

Immunogen: GFAP isolated from pig spinal cord

Isotype: IgG1 kappa

Application Details

Application Notes:

Known_Application: Flow Cytometry (1-2 μg/million cells), Immunofluorescence (1-2 μg/mL), Western Blot (1-2 μg/mL), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed) (1-2 μg/mL for 30 minutes at RT)(Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95°C followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes), Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.

Positive_Control: T98G cells (FACS). Brain lysate (WB). Brain or Astrocytoma (IHC).
