Scientific Data Images for Human GFAP Antibody

Detection of Human GFAP antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human GFAP by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of human brain (motor cortex) tissue, human brain (cerebellum) tissue, and human brain (hypothalamus) tissue. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human GFAP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2594) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF018). Specific bands were detected for GFAP at approximately 35-50 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
GFAP antibody in Rat Cortical Stem Cells by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

GFAP in Rat Cortical Stem Cells.

GFAP was detected in immersion fixed differentiated rat cortical stem cells using Mouse Anti-Human GFAP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2594) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

Detection of Human GFAP antibody by Simple WesternTM.

Detection of Human GFAP by Simple WesternTM.

Simple Western lane view shows lysates of human brain (cerebellum) tissue and human brain (motor cortex) tissue, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for GFAP at approximately 51-52 kDa (as indicated) using 50 µg/mL of Mouse Anti-Human GFAP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2594). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

GFAP Specificity is Shown by Immunocytochemistry in Knockout Cell Line.

GFAP was detected in immersion fixed U937 human histiocytic lymphoma cell line but is not detected in GFAP knockout (KO) U937 Human cell line using Mouse Anti-Human GFAP Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2594) at 8 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm. Staining was performed using our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Non-adherent Cells.
