GFAP Antibody / Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein

• Description: GFAP / Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein is specifically found in astroglia. GFAP is a very popular marker for localizing benign astrocyte and neoplastic cells of glial origin in the central nervous system. 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.
