This antipeptide IgY antibody was generated in chickens against a C-terminal sequence shared between the mouse (NP_032109) and rat (NP_05889.1) gene products. It has been validated with human, mouse and rat tissues.

Mixed neuron-glial cultures stained with CPCA-GAP43 (green) and rabbit antibody to alpha-II spectrin (RPCA-aII-Spec, red), and DNA (blue). The GAP43 antibody stains numerous axonal and dendritic profiles in these cultures, clearly revealing the submembraneous cytoskeleton and vesicles. Photo by Dr. Gerry Shaw, Univ. Florida.

Target

Growth-Associated Protein-43

Target Description

Growth-Associated Protein-43 is a 274 amino acid cytoplasmic protein found in neurons and various other embryonic cell types. This protein also goes by a number of alternative names, including neuromodulin and F1. In cultured neurons, GAP-43 antibodies selectively stain the growth cones of axons. As the substrate for various phosphorylation events, it is believed that GAP-43 plays a critical role in axonal growth, although its exact function is still unclear.

Storage

Store at 4°C in the dark. Under these conditions, the antibodies should have a shelf life of at least twelve months, provided they remain sterile. For longer term storage, aliquot and freeze to avoid freeze-thaw of the antibody.

Physical State

Liquid

Production Notes

Chickens were immunized with a synthetic peptide corresponding to the C-terminal region of mouse GAP-43 coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin. After repeated injections, immune eggs were collected, the IgY fractions were purified from the yolks, and the IgY concentration adjusted to 20 mg/mL. This preparation was then diluted 1:10 with PBS containing bovine serum albumin as a carrier. Finally, the antibody preparation was filter-sterilized.

Buffer

Phosphate-buffered (10 mM) isotonic (0.9%, w/v) saline ("PBS" pH 7.2) with bovine serum albumin (BSA, 0.5%) added to prevent absorption to the plastic and sodium azide (0.02%, w/v) added as a preservative

Dilution Ranges

WB: 1:1000-1:2000
IHC: 1:500-1:1000
ICC: 1:500-1:1000

Quality Control

Quality assurance analysis was performed using immunohistochemistry (at a dilution of 1:1000) using fluorescein-labeled goat anti-chicken IgY (1:1000 dilution, Aves Labs Cat.# F-1005) as the secondary reagent.

Usage Statement

These antibodies are to be used as research laboratory reagents and are not for use as diagnostic or therapeutic reagents in humans.
