Q:

I am interested in conducting a research on “ serum GFAP level and it’s correlation with histopathological grading of solitary supra Tentorial space occupying lesion.I would be grateful if you you could let me know wheather you would be able to supply the kit .if you do then how many kit do I need to cover sample of 50-60 cases?

Function
(From Uniprot)
GFAP, a class-III intermediate filament, is a cell-specific marker that, during the development of the central nervous system, distinguishes astrocytes from other glial cells.
