Product Description
GFAP Antibody [GFA12-3] | 33-867 | ProSci
Host: Mouse
Reactivity: Human
Homology: N/A
Immunogen: Native Glial fibrillary acidic protein was used as the immunogen for this GFAP antibody.
Research Area: Neuroscience, Signal Transduction
Tested Application: WB, IHC
Application: Western blot: 1-2 ug/ml
IHC (FFPE) : 1-2 ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT (1)
Prediluted format : incubate for 30 min at RT (2)
Titering of the GFAP antibody may be required for optimal performance.
1. FFPE testing requires sections to be boiled in pH6 10mM citrate buffer for 10-20 minutes, followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes, prior to staining.2. 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.

BACKGROUND: Glial fibrillary acidic protein is one of the major intermediate filament proteins of mature astrocytes. It is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during development. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
