GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein)

Catalog Number:

RB087A

Clone Number:

Gfap protein from cow brain

This antibody works on multiple species effectively. I've used it on cox, cat, dog, sheep, and rat brains. I got very satisfying results. It is very useful for inflammatory experiments on rat brain. It specifically stains astrocytes.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunohistochemistry

Sample

Cow brain

Primary Incubation

1/50

Blocking Agent

BSA, 1%

Secondary Incubation

Anti-rabbit IgG, 1/50 dilution, RT

Tertiary Incubation

Peroxidase-streptavidin complex (1 hours at RT) and then AEC chromogen, RT 20'

Detection

ABC-peroxidase technique

Results Summary

I'm using it on mostly rat brains. But sometimes it helps differential diagnosis of animal brain tumors. No need complicated AR techniques. Standart technique of AR (citrate buffer pH 6.0) is enough. İmage legend: GFAP positives cells are astrocytes, cow brain.
