Glial fibrillary acidic protein alpha subunit IgG Ab [Titer] in Serum by Immunofluorescence
Active
Term Description
The staining pattern of glial fibrillary acidic protein IgG antibodies includes prominent filamentous staining in the subependymal zone and pia and subpial regions of the cerebral cortex and midbrain, with sparing of the cerebellum. PMID: 30724768
Part Description
LP411550-9 Glial fibrillary acidic protein.alpha subunit Ab.IgG
Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) antibody is a biomarker for immune inflammation. GFAP IgG autoantibody binds to GFAPα, and is found in serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of indiviuals with GFAP astrocytopathy. GFAP antibodies are detectable by immunofluorescence (IF), cell-based assay (CBA) and western blot. GFAP astrocytopathy often overlaps with other autoimmune diseases, making diagnosis challenging due to the coexisting neural autoantibodies. PMID: 30568655
