Description
- Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) is specific to astrocytes (i.e., glial cells) and ependymal cells of the central nervous system
- Host Species: Rabbit Isotype: IgG Species Reactivity: Human, Monkey, Cow, Sheep, Guinea Pig, Chicken, Mouse, Rat and Hamster
- Others not known
- Epitope: Not determined Immunogen: GFAP isolated from cow spinal cord Molecular Weight: 51-52 kDa Positive Control: Brain or astrocytoma Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic Ab-4 stains astrocytes, glial cells, ependymal cells and their corresponding tumors
- In the peripheral nervous system, Schwann cells, satellite cells, and enteric glial cells are stained
- Weak staining of axons has been observed
- Absorption studies show that this is caused by a cross-reaction with neurofilament protein
- Ab-4 is particularly useful for distinguishing neoplasms of astrocytic origin from other neoplasms in the central nervous system by immunohistochemistry
