Recombinant GFAP antibody

Catalog No. ABIN6939509

Product Details anti-GFAP Antibody

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

Antibody Type: Recombinant Antibody

Reactivity: Human, Rat, Mouse, Pig, Cow, Chicken, Rabbit

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This GFAP antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Staining Methods (StM)

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 full-length GFAP protein

Clone: ASTRO-1974R

Isotype: IgG

Application Details
