Western Blot (Tissue lysate)
Western blot of rat spinal cord extracts stained with GFAP monoclonal antibody, clone 5C10 (Cat # MAB5384). A prominent band at about 50 kDa corresponds to the major isoform of GFAP.
Immunofluorescence
Mixed neuron-glial cultures stained with GFAP monoclonal antibody, clone 5C10 (Cat # MAB5384), our monoclonal antibody to GFAP (red) and chicken polylclonal antibody to neurofilament NF-L (green).
The GFAP antibody stains the network of astrocytes in these cultures, while the NF-L antibody stains neurons and their processes.
The blue channel shows the localization of DNA.
