GFAP Antibody (YA416)

GFAP Antibody (YA416) is a Rabbit-derived and non-conjugated IgG monoclonal antibody, targeting to GFAP.

Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP), classified as a class-III intermediate filament, functions as a cell-specific marker crucial for distinguishing astrocytes from other glial cells, particularly during the development of the central nervous system. GFAP plays a pivotal role in the formation and maintenance of the cytoskeleton in astrocytes, contributing to their structural support and stability. Its expression is highly specific to astrocytes, making it a valuable marker in identifying these glial cells in various physiological and pathological contexts. Furthermore, GFAP has been reported to interact with SYNM, suggesting potential functional associations with proteins involved in cytoskeletal dynamics or cellular signaling pathways within astrocytes. This interaction adds a layer of complexity to the understanding of GFAP's role in astrocyte biology. Ongoing research may reveal additional details about the molecular mechanisms and functional implications of GFAP in the central nervous system.

• 
  Immunocytochemistry analysis of U251 cells labeling GFAP with GFAP Antibody (HY-P80140)at 1/50 dilution. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes at room temperature, then blocked with QuickBlock™ Blocking Buffer for Immunol Staining for 10 min at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with GFAP Antibody (HY-P80140) at 1/50 dilution in QuickBlock™ Blocking Buffer for Immunol Staining at 4 ℃. Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L（HY-P8002, Green) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control. The Nuclear counterstain was DAPI (Blue).

• 
  Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded Mouse hippocampus tissue using GFAP Antibody (YA416). The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0) for 8 minutes. The tissues were blocked in QuickBlock for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (HY-P80140, 1/500) in 4℃ overnight. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
