      Special InstructionsResuspend the lyophilized antibody with sterile phosphate buffered saline (PBS), pH 7.4, or sterile 20 mM Tris-saline (20 mM Tris containing 0.15 M NaCl), pH 7.4, to yield a final concentration of 100 µg/ml; product will be more stable if 0.1% sodium azide is included (do not add azide if antibody is to be used with viable cells). Lyophilized antibody should be resuspended at 4°C with occasional gentle mixing for at least 2 h. Store at 4°C until reconstituted, then store in aliquots at -20°C or at 4°C with 0.1% azide. Freezing of aliquots is best for long-term storage of reconstituted product; avoid repetitive freezing and thawing.

      DescriptionPurified mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with PAI mouse myeloma cells (see application references). Recognizes the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP).
      BackgroundIntermediate (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.
