Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-GFAP antibody [EP672Y] - Astrocyte Marker (AB33922)

Flow cytometric analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde fixed 90% methanol permeabilized Mouse primary brain cells cells labelling GFAP with ab33922 at 1/500 dilution (0.1ug)/ Right compared with a Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) / Left isotype control . A Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor® 488, ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-GFAP antibody [EP672Y] - Astrocyte Marker (AB33922)

Immunofluorescence staining of GFAP using ab33922 in primary rat hippocampal mixed glia, (prepared from P2 rat hippocampal brain area, obtained from Transnetyx Tissue by BrainBits, LLC, cat.no. SDPHP4m), DIV4. The cells were fixed with 100% MeOH (5 min), permeabilized with 0.1% Triton-X-100 (in PBS) for 5 mins and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab33922 at 0.2 μg/ml and ab4674, Anti-GFAP antibody, at 1/1000 dilution. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150176, Goat Anti-Chicken IgY H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). Images were acquired with the Perkin Elmer Operetta HCA and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown. The antibody ab33922 gave comparable results using 4% formaldehyde fixation (10 min).

Immunocytochemistry analysis of Embryonic mouse primary neural cells labeling GFAP with purified ab33922 at 1 : 100 dilution (10 μg/ml). Cells were fixed in 4% Paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.1% tritonX-100. Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor^© 488, ab150077) was used as the secondary antibody at 1 : 1000 (2 μg/ml) dilution. DAPI (blue) was used as nuclear counterstain. Cells were counterstained with Tau Mouse mAb 1 : 100 (5 μg/ml). ab150120 Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) was used as the secondary antibody for the counter stain at 1 : 1000 (2 μg/ml) dilution. DAPI (blue) was used as nuclear counterstain.

We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody. Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.
