GFAP Antibody (MA5-12023) in ICC/IF
Immunofluorescent analysis of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in E18 Sparague Dawley primary cortical neuronal cells containing astrocytes. The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde for 15 mins, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton X-100 in PBS for 10 mins, and blocked with 3% BSA in PBS for 30 mins at RT. Cells were stained with a GFAP mouse monoclonal antibody (Product # MA5-12023) at a dilution of 1:200 in 3% BSA in PBS for 1 hr at RT, and then incubated with Invitrogen™ AlexaFluor™ 488 Plus goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (Pro...

Product Specific Information
MA5-12023 targets Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein in IF, IHC (P), and WB applications and shows reactivity with Chicken, Human, Porcine, and Rat samples.
The MA5-12023 immunogen is glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein.
MA5-12023 was successfully used to detect astrocytes in E18 Sparague Dawley primary cortical cells.
Target Information
GFAP (Glial fibrillary acidic protein) is a member of the class III intermediate filament protein family. GFAP is heavily and specifically expressed in astrocytes and certain astroglia of the central nervous system, in satellite cells of peripheral ganglia, and in non-myelinating Schwann cells of peripheral nerves. In addition, neural stem cells strongly express GFAP. Antibodies to GFAP are very useful as markers of astrocytic cells. In addition, many types of brain tumor, presumably derived from astrocytic cells, heavily express GFAP. GFAP is also found in the lens epithelium, Kupffer cells of the liver, in some cells in salivary tumors and has been reported in erythrocytes. GFAP is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during development. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system. Alternative splicing of the GFAP gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.
