STEM123 antibody citation list

STEM123 antibody (formerly named SC123) is a mouse monoclonal antibody specific to human glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). It does not cross-react with mouse, rat, or monkey tissue. This human-specific antibody enables the quantification of engraftment, survival, and migration of human astrocytes in xenograft models. Read below for a citation list of studies in which STEM123 antibody was used in peer-reviewed basic, translational, preclinical, and biomedical research.
