Gfap antibody

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United States

The GFAP antibody is a laboratory reagent used to detect the presence and levels of the glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) in biological samples. GFAP is an intermediate filament protein expressed in astrocytes and other glial cells. The GFAP antibody can be used in various analytical techniques, such as Western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and flow cytometry, to study the expression and distribution of GFAP in different tissues and cell types.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Mice were humanely euthanized, and eyes enucleated and immersion-fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for 10 min. Eyeballs were then rinsed in PBS, and eye cups were generated by removing the anterior segment. The eye cups were infiltrated in 30% sucrose overnight and embedded in Tissue-Tek OCT (Sakura Finetek, Torrance, CA, USA). Immunostaining for CD59a was performed on 10-μm-thick cryostat sections. The primary antibodies were mouse anti-mouse CD59a (HM1116, Hycult, PA, USA) at 1:500 dilution and a mouse-on-mouse polymer IHC kit (ab127055, Abcam, MA, USA) was used to optimize signal to background staining ratio. We used an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody followed by diaminobenzidine to yield a brown precipitate. Rat anti-mouse glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) antibody (13–0300, Invitrogen, Camarillo, CA, USA) was used at a 1:500 dilution. GFAP antibody was detected using fluorophore-labeled secondary antibodies (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories, Inc., PA, USA). Control sections were treated identically but without primary antibody. The sections were analyzed by fluorescence microscopy with identical exposure parameters (model TE300 microscope, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) with ImagePro software (Media Cybernetics, Silver Spring, MD, USA).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Tissue Sections

Formaldehyde-fixed tissue was embedded in paraffin wax for further immunohistochemical examination. Sections were deparaffinised in xylene. Antigen retrieval process was performed twice in citrate buffer solution (pH: 6.0), first for 7 min, and second for 5 min, boiled in a microwave oven at 700 W. They were allowed to cool to room temperature for 30 min and washed twice in distilled water for 5 min. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked in 0.1% hydrogen peroxide for 20 min. Ultra V block (Cat. No:85-9043, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was applied for 10 min prior to the overnight application of primary antibodies VEGF antibody (Cat. No: RB-222-P0) (1:100 dilution), GFAP antibody (1:100 dilution) (Cat. No: PA3-067, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA). Secondary antibody (Cat. No: 85-9043, Invitrogen, Carlsbad, CA, USA) was applied for 20 min. Slides were then exposed to streptavidin-peroxidase for 20 min. Chromogen diaminobenzidine (DAB) (Invitrogen, Cat. No: 34002 Carlsbad, CA, USA) was used. Control slides were prepared as mentioned above, but omitting the primary antibodies. After counterstaining with haematoxylin, and washing in tap water for 8 min and in distilled water for 10 min, the slides were mounted with Entellan.

Astroglial Alteration Evaluation in Striatum

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Deparaffinized 5-μm-thick tissue sections were cut and prepared for evaluation of astroglial alteration. Striatal sections were treated with 3% hydrogen peroxide for 20 min, washed with PBS, then incubated with mouse monoclonal glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibody (Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., United States) for 30 min. The sections were washed with PBS followed by incubation for 20 min with secondary antibody (Dako, Carpenteria, CA, United States), and then with horseradish peroxidase using the HRP Envision kit (Dako, Carpenteria, CA, United States). The reaction was visualized with 3,3′-diaminobenzidine tetrahydrochloride (DAB Substrate Kit, Vector Laboratories Inc., Burlingame, CA, United States) for 10 min following another wash with PBS. Finally, the sections were counterstained with hematoxylin, dehydrated, and cleared in xylene then cover-slipped for microscopic analysis. Six randomly selected fields from striatum region were analyzed for determination of GFAP immunoreactive percentage areas in individual sections using full HD microscopic camera operated by Leica application module for histological analysis (Sayed et al., 2020 (link)).

To quantify glial scar area in the mNPC, pLXSN-mNPC, and hADC-mNPC mice, tissue sections (20 mm) were obtained 2 weeks after SCI and sequentially immunoreacted with GFAP antibody (1:500, Thermo, Waltham, MA, USA) at 4 °C overnight. Subsequently, tissue sections were incubated with the appropriate biotinylated secondary antibodies. Immunostaining was performed using an ABC kit (Vector, Burlingame, CA, USA), followed by reaction with 3,39-diaminobenzidine tetra hydrochloride (DAB, Sigma, St. Louis, MO, USA). Negative controls lacked the primary antibody. Glial scar area was obtained from measuring GFAP-positive regions around the lesion site (with central cavity and the number of reactive astrocytes) in Image J (National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
