Gfap rabbit polyclonal antibody

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United States

The GFAP (Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein) rabbit polyclonal antibody is a versatile tool used for the detection and analysis of GFAP, a common marker for astrocytes and glial cells. This antibody recognizes the GFAP protein and can be used in various immunoassays, including immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, to study the expression and distribution of GFAP in biological samples.

Brains were dissected from each mouse and the right brain hemisphere was isolated. The right hemisphere was embedded using an optimal cutting temperature (OCT) media. Following freezing using dry ice and ethanol, the block was sectioned (30-60 µm) using a standard cryostat (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany) and slices were mounted on positively charged slides. Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) rabbit polyclonal antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) was diluted to 1:2000 and pipetted onto each individual slide and incubated overnight at 277.15 K. The next day immunoglobulin G (IgG) was diluted to 1:1000 and pipetted onto sections to stain for 2 h. Sections were counterstained with DAPI (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) and subsequently stored in a sealed box protected from light for 8 min. Prolong Gold antifade reagent (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) was then applied to the tissue. Slides were then stored at 293-298 K (room temperature).

Immunohistochemical Analysis of Glial Cells

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Brains were dissected from each mouse and subsequently halved. The right hemisphere was embedded using optimal cutting temperature (OCT) media. After freezing, the block was sectioned using a cryostat at 60 μm and mounted on positively charged slides. Fluorescent staining was conducted using commercially available reagents (Abcam, Waltham, MA, USA). Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) rabbit polyclonal antibody (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA) was diluted to 1:2000 and incubated on each slide for 1–2 h. Sections were counterstained with DAPI (Thermo Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) in a sealed box protected from light for 8 min. Once dry, ProLong Gold antifade reagent (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA, USA) was applied to the tissue. Once complete, slides were stored at room temperature.

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.
