Description

Introduction

GFAP is one of the major intermediate filament proteins of mature astrocytes. It is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during development. Mutations in this gene cause Alexander disease, a rare disorder of astrocytes in the central nervous system.

	Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with the primary antibody, which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma; HC = hepatocarcinoma.
	Western blot analysis of GFAP (arrow) using GFAP Antibody (N-term) (Cat# 102-14577). 293 cell lysates (2 ug/lane) either nontransfected (Lane 1) or transiently transfected with the GFAP gene (Lane 2) (Origene Technologies).
