Application_Details :

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 0.5-1.0 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human GFAP has a predicted length of 432 residues and MW of 50 kDa. A concentration of 0.5-1.0 µg/mL is recommended to detect GFAP in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues as well as formalin/acetone fixed tissues. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Description (Long Description) : 

GFAP is a 50 kDa intra-cytoplasmic filamentous protein of the cytoskeleton in astrocytes. During the development of the central nervous system, it is a cell-specific marker that distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells. GFAP immunoreactivity has been shown in immature oligodendrocytes, epiglottic cartilage, pituicytes, papillary meningiomas, myoepithelial cells of the breast and in non-CNS: Schwann cells, salivary gland neoplasms, enteric glia cells, and metastasizing renal carcinomas. At least 3 isoforms are produced from alternate splicing. These isoforms differ in the C-terminal region which is encoded by alternative exons. This antibody detects all three isoforms.
