SKU MA1045
Application Immunofluorescence
Sample rat spinal tissue
Sample Processing Description Paraffin-embedded transverse sections of rat spinal cord were prepared after formalin fixation.
Other ReagentsTris-EDTA Antigen Retrieval Buffer (50×, pH 9.0), DAPI
Primary Antibody GFAP Antibody (Monoclonal, G-A-5)
Primary Incubation 1:200, overnight at 4 ℃
Secondary Antibody Goat Anti-Mouse IgG (H+L) Secondary Antibody, Fluoro488 Conjugated
Secondary Incubation 45 minutes in 37℃
Detection Imaging system:Leica DM2500
Results Summary GFAP is a marker of astrocytes. In this experiment, immunostaining for GFAP was used to label astrocytes in the gray matter of the spinal cord to observe their distribution, density, and morphology. The results showed that the labeled protoplasmic astrocytes in the gray matter had short, thick, and highly branched processes with rough surfaces, forming a dense “bushy” network tightly surrounding neuronal cell bodies and synapses, consistent with theoretical expectations and demonstrating excellent staining.

This antibody is highly efficient and specific, suitable for detecting AQP4 protein in rat colon by Western blot, with only minimal nonspecific bands.

Results Summary Antibody detects eosinophils and stains eosinophil granula. It is highly specific and can be used in dilutions such as 1:1000 for IF.

"We ordered this antibody as a custom antibody from Boster Bio to stain for zebrafish eosinophils in FFPE tissue sections and fixed cells. It works wonderfully: very bright, with no relevant background or off-target staining, and highly reproducible."

The antibody worked well even though we used fresh frozen brain sections cut at 20 micron thickness thaw-mounted onto microscope slide that were then post-fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde. The antibody worked equally well when used on fixed brains sectioned

Images that were made from fresh frozen cryostat sections, were thaw-mounted onto microscope slides. Mounted sections were later post-fixed with 300 µL of 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) in PBS at room temperature for 10 minutes. After fixation and prior to incubation with antibodies, slides were washed 3 times with 300 µL of 1X PBS with 0.01% sodium azide for 3 minutes per rinse, followed by permeabilization with 300 µL of 0.3% Triton X-100 in 1X PBS with 0.01% sodium azide for 30 minutes at room temperature, then blocking with 700 µL of 4% donkey serum diluted in 1X PBS with 0.01% sodium azide + Triton X-100 (blocking buffer) for 30 minutes at room temperature. Slides were incubated with 325 µL of Iba1 (1:100). Concentrations of 1:100 were achieved by diluting 10 µL of antibody in 1,000 µL of blocking buffer; concentrations of 1:250 were achieved by diluting 4 µL of antibody in 1,000 µL of blocking buffer. Sections were incubated overnight at 4 ˚C. On the next day, slides were washed 3 times with 300 µL of 1X PBS with 0.01% sodium azide for 3 minutes per rinse, then incubated with the secondary antibodies at room temperature, in the dark, for 1 hour. Washing step was repeated then slides were left in the dark to dry. Mounting media was added to cover slip the sections. Slides were kept in the dark at 4 ˚C prior to imaging.
