Product Details anti-GFAP Antibody

Binding Specificity: AA 101-200

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.

Purification: Purified by Protein A/G

Immunogen: Recombinant human GFAP protein fragment (around aa 101-200) (exact sequence is proprietary)

Isotype: IgG1 kappa
