Description

Specifically detects Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) Clone: G-A-5 in Chicken, Human, Porcine, Rat samples, and it is validated for Immunofluorescence, Immunohistochemistry (Frozen), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), Immunoprecipitation, Immuno Blotting

Intermediate (10 nm) filaments are present in, and provide information concerning the origin of, most vertebrate cells. At present, five major cell types can be distinguished by their intermediate filament components. These include epithelial cells (cytokeratins), neurons (neurofilaments), glial cells (glial fibrillary acidic protein or GFA or GFAP), skeletal, visceral, and certain vascular smooth muscle cells (desmin) and various nonepithelial cells, including cells of mesenchymal origin (vimentin). GFAP and vimentin are coexpressed in at least some astrocytes. Anti-GFAP (Ab-1) identifies the GFAP subclass of intermediate filaments in human tissues.
