GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody, Epredia™

Host Species: Rabbit

Isotype: IgG

Species Reactivity: Human, Monkey, Cow, Sheep, Guinea Pig, Chicken, Mouse, Rat and Hamster. Others not known.

Epitope: Not determined

Immunogen: GFAP isolated from cow spinal cord

Molecular Weight: 51-52 kDa

Positive Control: Brain or astrocytoma

Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic Ab-4 stains astrocytes, glial cells, ependymal cells and their corresponding tumors. In the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells, satellite cells, and enteric glial cells are stained. Weak staining of axons has been observed. Absorption studies show that this is caused by a cross-reaction with neurofilament protein. Ab-4 is particularly useful for distinguishing neoplasms of astrocytic origin from other neoplasms in the central nervous system by immunohistochemistry.

Recommended for:

• Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/paraffin)
