Scientific Data Images for Human Nestin Antibody

Nestin antibody in Human Neural Progenitor Cells by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

Nestin in Human Neural Progenitor Cells.

Nestin was detected in immersion fixed human fetal neural progenitor cells using 10 µg/mL Human Nestin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1259) for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained (green) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Cells on Coverslips.

Detection of Nestin in A172 cells by Flow Cytometry.

A172 cells were stained with Mouse Anti-Human Nestin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1259, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # MAB002, open histogram), followed by Phycoerythrin-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0102B). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed and permeabilized with FlowX FoxP3 Fixation & Permeabilization Buffer Kit (Catalog # FC012).

Detection of Mouse Nestin by Western Blot

Detection of Mouse Nestin by Western Blot

Cardiolipin is externalized to the mitochondrial surface in alpha-syn mutant hNs and transgenic mice in response to alpha-syn accumulation. a Western analysis of lysates from corrected and A53T cells at DIV 14 and DIV 60 labeled for total alpha-syn, PS129, TH (DA neuronal marker), nestin (NPC marker) or GAPDH show that levels of PS129-modified alpha-syn are elevated in A53T hNs at DIV 14 and remain elevated at DIV 60 relative to corrected cells. b, c Mitochondria were purified from A53T cells and genetically corrected cells at both DIV 14 and DIV 60. Lysates were then separated based on TX-100 solubility (soluble) or urea solubility (insoluble). Western analysis of A53T cells shows elevated soluble alpha-syn at the mitochondria relative to corrected cells at DIV 14 and DIV 60 (denoted by ** and * respectively). Quantification of soluble and insoluble alpha-syn levels in mitochondrial fractions normalized to Coomassie (c). Data represent mean ± s.e.m. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test, n = 4. d, e Micrographs of corrected and A53T-mutant NPCs expressing the negative charge probe RPRE-RFP and CL-GFP show RPRE-RFP translocation from a primarily plasma membrane localization in isogenic-corrected hNs to a punctate intracellular localization in A53T hNs in tight cellular localization with CL-GFP (d). Quantification of percent total cell number with colocalized RPRE-RFP and CL-GFP (e). Data represent mean ± s.e.m. **P < 0.0001 by t-test, n = 3 coverslips over 2 independent differentiations, DIV: 14; scale bar: 10 μm. f, g Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from CL-GFP to RPRE-RFP in hiPSC-derived A53T and corrected hNs or hESC-derived WT, A53T and E46K hNs was assessed (f) and mean FRET intensity was quantified (g). Data represent mean ± s.e.m. **P < 0.01 by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s post hoc test, for hiPSCs, n = 6, for hESCs, n = 8 coverslips over two independent differentiations, DIV: 14. Scale bar: 10 µm. h Mitochondria were isolated from the SNpc of 6-month-old WT and A53T transgenic animals and labeled with Annexin V to measure the abundance of cardiolipin on the mitochondrial surface. Controls were rotenone-exposed WT samples. Animals were not randomized, nor was the analysis blinded. Data represent mean ± s.e.m. **P < 0.01 by ANOVA followed by Dunnett post hoc test, n = 4.

Background: Nestin

Nestin is a class VI intermediate filament protein (1, 2) that is expressed in stem cells of the central nervous system (CNS) (3) but not in mature CNS cells (4). Nestin expression is used extensively as a marker for CNS stem cells in the developing nervous system and in vitro cultured cells (5-10). Its transient expression is a critical step in the neural differentiation pathway (2). Nestin is also expressed in non-neural stem cell populations, such as pancreatic islet progenitors (11-13) and hematopoietic progenitors (14).
