GFAP

Description: Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is an intermediate filament protein found in glial cells (astrocytes and ependymal cells). within the peripheral system, GFAP has been demonstrated in Schwann cells, enteric glial cells and satellite cells of human sensory ganglia. In neoplastic tissues, this antibody is beneficial for the identification of astrocytomas and ependymomas.

Methodology: Immunohistochemistry

TAT: 3-5 days
