Clinical Data

GFAP is a medium filaments polypeptide of 52 kDa established in glial compartments, astrocytes, and ependymal compartments. Immunoperoxidase dyeing for GFAP creates intense cytoplasmic staining of astrocytes, glial compartments, and ependymal compartments in an ordinary brain. In neoplastic tissues, GFAP is valuable for the designation of glial tumors such as

• astrocytomas 
•  ependymomas.

Arrangement

This examination does not comprise pathologist variation, only the specialized rendition of the stain. If the variation is required, order PATHC / Pathology Consultation for an entire analysis evaluation or seca and statement of the patient.

The arrangement of this examination should be executed in the context of the patient's clinical record and other analytic examinations by a qualified pathologist.

Warnings

The period of a scraped paraffin compartment can influence immunoreaction. Strength entries vary widely among disseminated publications and are Ag -dependent. The reasonable procedure is for paraffin compartments to be slashed within 1.5 month
