Tissue/Cell: SH-SY5Y cell, 4% Paraformaldehyde-fixed, Triton X-100 at room temperature for 20 min, Blocking buffer (normal goat serum) at 37°C for 20 min, Antibody incubation with (GFAP) polyclonal Antibody, Unconjugated (orb221420) 1:100, 90 minutes at 37°C, followed by a FITC conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG antibody at 37°C for 90 minutes, DAPI (blue) was used to stain the cell nuclei.

Blank control (blue line): Hela (fixed with 80% methanol (5 min at -20°C) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min at room temperature). Primary Antibody (green line): Rabbit Anti-GFAP antibody (orb221420), dilution: 3 µg/10^6 cells, Isotype Control Antibody (orange line): Rabbit IgG. Secondary Antibody (white blue line): Goat anti-rabbit IgG-PE, dilution: 1 µg/Test.

GFAP was immunoprecipitated from human hela cells lysate with orb221420 at 1/150 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using protein A/G beads. HRP Conjugated Mouse anti-Rabbit IgG (Light Chain specific) was used as secondary antibody at 1:5000 dilution. Lane 1: human hela cells lysate 10 µg (Input). Lane 2: orb221420 IP in human hela cells lysate. Lane 3: native rabbit IgG IP in human hela cells lysate (negative control). Secondary, All lanes: Mouse anti-Rabbit IgG (Light Chain specific), HRP Conjugated, 1:5000.
