| Clonality | Monoclonal |
| Immunoglobulin isotype | IgG1 |
| Clone | GA-5 |
| Host organism | Mouse (Mus musculus) |
| Species reactivity | Chicken, Cow, Due to limited knowledge and inability for testing each and every species, Mouse (Mus musculus), Pig, Rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus), Rat (Rattus norvegicus), the reactivity of the antibody may extend to other species which are not listed hereby, Human (Homo sapiens) |
| Specificity and cross-reactivity | Antibody to GFAP is useful in differentiating primary gliomas from metastatic lesions in the brain and for documenting astrocytic differentiation in tumors outside the CNS, GFAP is a very popular marker for localizing benign astrocyte and neoplastic cells of glial origin in the central nervous system, GFAP is specifically found in astroglia, It shows no cross-reaction with other intermediate filament proteins, Since it is not possible to test each and every species our knowledge on the corss reactivity of the antibodies is limited, This particular antibody might cross react with speacies outside of the listed ones, This MAb recognizes a protein of ~50kDa which is identified as Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) |
