Anti-Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) Antibody
Our Anti-Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) rabbit polyclonal primary antibody detects bovine, horse, human, mouse, pig, and rat Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), and is whole serum. It is validated for use in ICC, IHC-Frozen, WB.
Mixed neuron-glial cultures stained with Rabbit polyclonal antibody to Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein R-1374-50 (red channel) and Chicken polyclonal antibody to Vimentin C-1409-50 (green channel). The fibroblastic cells contain only Vimentin and so are green, while astrocytes contain either Vimentin and GFAP, so appearing golden, or predominantly GFAP, in which case they appear red. Blue is nuclear DNA stain.

Product Details
Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP)
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.
