GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein, Astrocyte Marker, FLJ45472)

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intermediate filament protein found in glial cells such as astrocytes and ependymal cells. GFAP is also seen in Schwann cells, enteric glial cells and satellite cells of the sensory ganglia in the peripheral nervous system. This antibody will help detect GFAP and identify these cell types in normal and uncharacterized tissues.\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.\n\nRecommended Dilutions:\nWestern Blot: Recognizes 38-45kD neurofilaments\nELISA: 5ug/ml with antigen coating \nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Stability:\nMay be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
