IN the good days before monoclonals and kits we 
made GFAP the old fashion wat by injecting 
rabits, harvesting antibodies and absorbing until 
we got good specific staining. About a litre of 
good antibody was aliquoted and stored in a Revco 
(I think -70°) and it remained good for at least 
8 years.

If I had a Revco now, I would do this will all 
antibodies and validate them per case by using 
controls.
