Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-GFAP antibody [EPR1034Y] – Chicken IgY (Chimeric) – BSA and Azide Free (AB323248)

Composite multiplex immunofluorescence staining of Iba1, GFAP and MAP2 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human cerebral cortex*.

Performed on a Leica BOND. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA (Ph9.0) using retrieval settings of 100°C for 40 minutes. The section was then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour with ab323239 at 5µg/ml dilution (shown in green), ab300645 at 5µg/ml (shown in magenta), and ab178846 at 5µg/ml (shown in yellow). Then incubated for 1 hour with ab150119 Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 647) preadsorbed 1/1000, ab150084 Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) preadsorbed 1/1000, and ab150173 Goat Anti-Chicken IgY H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed 1/1000. Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Dako Fluorescence Mounting Medium ®.

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.

This data was developed using ab323239, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation. Immunofluorescence staining of GFAP in sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human cerebral cortex*. Performed on a Leica BOND. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA (pH9.0) for 40 minutes.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-GFAP antibody [EPR1034Y] – Chicken IgY (Chimeric) – BSA and Azide Free (AB323248)

Immunofluorescence staining of GFAP in sections of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded rat brain (positive) and rat skeletal muscle (negative).

Performed on a Leica BOND. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate (pH6.0) for 20 minutes. The section was then incubated at room temperature for 1 hour with ab323239 at 1/500 dilution and then incubated for 1 hour with ab150173 Goat Anti-Chicken IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green).

Product details

This chicken monoclonal chimeric antibody has been engineered from a RabMAb parent antibody (ab68428). By necessity, some rabbit sequence is retained as part of the variable domain. When multiplexing with other rabbit-derived antibodies, using cross absorbed Fc-reactive secondary antibodies are recommended.

ab323248 is the carrier-free version of ab323239

What are the advantages of a recombinant monoclonal antibody?
This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production
