Quick Overview for GFAP antibody (ABIN7861355)

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

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This GFAP antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC)

Clone: GFAP-9424

Product Details anti-GFAP Antibody

Purpose: GFAP (Astrocyte & Neural Stem Cell Marker) 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.

Purification: 200ug/ml of Ab purified from Bioreactor Concentrate by Protein A/G.
