Notes

This mouse monoclonal chimeric antibody has been engineered from a RabMAb parent antibody (Anti-GFAP antibody [EPR1034Y] 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.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-GFAP antibody [EPR1034Y] – Mouse IgG2a (Chimeric) (ab279290)

    IHC image of GFAP staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human cerebral cortex performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol F.

    The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab279290, 1μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature. A rabbit anti-mouse IgG2a, was added for 8 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated goat anti-rabbit compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen.

    The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.
    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.

    Immunoprecipitation - Anti-GFAP antibody [EPR1034Y] – Mouse IgG2a (Chimeric) (ab279290)

    GFAP was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg rat brain tissue lysate 10 μg with ab279290 at 1/30 dilution (2μg in 0.35mg lysates). Western blot was performed on the immunoprecipitate using ab279290 at 1/1000 dilution. mouse IgG for IP (HRP) (Anti-mouse IgG for IP (HRP) ab131368) was used at 1/5000 dilution.
