Description

General description

Protein G purified mouse monoclonal antibody derived by immunizing mice with the specified immunogen and fusing splenocytes with mouse myeloma cells. Recognizes the ~34 kDa Sox2 protein.

Recognizes the ~34 kDa Sox2 protein in NTERA-2 cells.

This Anti-Sox2 Mouse mAb (245610) is validated for use in Immunoblotting, Immunocytochemistry, Flow Cytometry for the detection of Sox2.

Immunogen

Human

a recombinant protein consisting of amino acids 135-317 of human Sox2, expressed in E. coli

Application

Immunoblotting (1-2 µg/ml)

Immunocytochemistry (10 µg/ml; see comments)

Flow Cytometry (see comments)

Warning

Toxicity: Standard Handling (A)

Physical form

Lyophilized from 0.2 µm-filter sterilized PBS, 5% trehalose.

Reconstitution

Reconstitute with 200 µl sterile PBS for a final stock concentration of 500 µg/ml. Following reconstitution, aliquot and freeze (-20°C or -70°C) for long-term storage. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles of solutions. Thawed aliquots are stable for up to 1 month at 4°C.

For immunocytochemistry, cells should be fixed in PBS containing 4% paraformaldehyde for 20 min, followed by blocking in PBS/10% normal donkey serum/1% BSA/0.1% Triton^™ X-100 detergent for 45 min and staining overnight at 4°C with appropriately diluted primary antibody. For immunoblotting, the best results may be obtained using whole cell or nuclear extracts; Sox2 may be difficult to detect in cytoplasmic extracts. The detection limit for recombinant Sox2 is ~5 ng/lane under reducing and non-reducing conditions. For intracellular staining by flow cytometry, fix cells in 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilize with 0.1% saponin. Following fixation and permeabilization, dilute the antibody to 50 µg/ml and add 10 µl diluted antibody to 1-2.5 x 10⁵ cells in a total volume of ≤200 µl. Following incubation with appropriate detection antibody, the cells should be washed a final time with 0.1% saponin prior to analysis. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
