Figure-1: Immunofluorescent analysis of a section of mouse hippocampus stained with chicken pAb to GFAP,(34-1046), dilution 1:5,000 in green and costained with rabbit pAb to FOX3/NeuN,(34-1036), dilution 1:5,000, in red. The blue is Hoechst staining of nuclear DNA. Following transcardial perfusion with 4% paraformaldehyde, mouse brain was post fixed for 24 hours, cut to 45µM, and free-floating sections were stained with the above antibodies. The GFAP antibody stains a network of astroglial cells while the Fox3/NeuN antibody stains the nuclei and proximal perikarya of neurons.

Figure-2: Western blot analysis of whole brain lysates using chicken pAb to GFAP,(34-1046), dilution 1:5,000 in green: [1] protein standard (red), [2] rat brain, [3] mouse brain. The strong band at about 50 kDa corresponds to the GFAP protein. Smaller proteolytic fragments and alternate transcripts of GFAP may also be detected on such blots.
