Description

Description: This GA5 monoclonal antibody reacts with human, mouse, rat, chicken, rabbit, and pig glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). This 49-kDa type III intermediate filament protein is expressed in neural tissues and distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells during central nervous system development. Three alternative splice variants of GFAP exist; however, alpha-GFAP is the predomit form expressed in astrocytes. GFAP can co-assemble with vimentin and nestin in astrocytes, but such associations are not required for assembly. Like other intermediate filaments, GFAP assembly is dependent on phosphorylation and dephosphorylation of the N-terminal domain. Studies have demonstrated that mutations in the GFAP gene lead to Alexander disease. Moreover, GFAP has also been shown to be overexpressed in certain glial-derived tumors. Applications Reported: This GA5 antibody has been reported for use in immunocytochemical (ICC) and immunohistochemical staining of frozen tissue sections (IHC-F). Applications Tested: This GA5 antibody has been tested by immunocytochemistry on fixed and permeabilized C6 cells at less than or equal to 10 μg/mL. This product has not been validated for flow cytometric analysis. Filter Recommendation: When using this eFluor™ 615 antibody conjugate, we recommend a filter that will capture the 615 emission wavelength (for example, Excitation 560/55, 585LP, Emission 645/75).

GFAP Monoclonal antibody specifically detects GFAP in Chicken, Human, Mouse, Porcine, Rabbit, Rat samples. It is validated for Immunocytochemistry, Immunohistochemistry (Frozen).
