Description

General description

Octamer-4 (Oct-4), a member of the POU family of transcription factors, has been demonstrated to be vital for the formation of self-renewing pluripotent stem cells. During embryogenesis expression of Oct-4 is limited to pluripotent cells of the inner cell mass (ICM) that contribute to the formation of all fetal cell types. This relationship between Oct-4 and pluripotency has seen this transcription factor emerge as a marker of pluripotent stem cells. Undifferentiated human and murine pluripotent Embryonic Stem (ES) and Embryonic Carcinoma (EC) cells express Oct-4. Additionally, murine Embryonic Germ (EG) cells are also known to express Oct-4. Following stem cell differentiation, the level of Oct-4 expression decreases. Oct-4 expression by human EG cells is not known.

Purified monoclonal antibody for the detection of Human Oct-4.

Specificity

Reacts with human Oct-4 only, and detects the Oct-4A isoform. (Note: Please order Catalog No. MAB4419 for use with mouse embryonic stem cells).

The clone reacts strongly with specific nuclear binding to human ES cells and cross-reacts weakly with mouse ES cells.

Application

Detect Oct-4 using this Anti-Oct-4 Antibody, clone 10H11.2 validated for use in WB, FC, IC, ELISA.

Flow Cytometry: A previous lot of this antibody was used in FC.

ELISA: A previous lot of this antibody was used in ELISA.

Immunocytochemistry: A previous lot of this antibody was used in IC. H9 cells in culture on a mouse embronic fibroblast feeder layer were labeled by a standard indirect IF protocol. Oct-4 labelling in green, DAPI in blue, & SSEA-3 (MAB4303 in red).

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Quality

Evaluated by western blot on mouse P1 brain lysates.
