Scientific Data Images for Mouse/Rat Nestin Antibody

Nestin antibody in Rat Cortical Stem Cells by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

Nestin in Rat Cortical Stem Cells.

Nestin was detected in immersion fixed undifferentiated rat cortical stem cells using Mouse Anti-Rat Nestin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2736) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Detection of Mouse Nestin by Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence

Zfp322a can enhance OSKM reprogramming and replace Sox2.(A) Zfp322a enhanced reprogramming efficiency and accelerated the onset of reprogramming process. OSKM serves as control experiment. (B) The iPSCs generated from OSKM plus Zfp322a presented alkaline phosphatase activity. There were more AP stained colonies generated from OKSM+Zfp322a compare to OKSM. (C) The iPSCs expressed endogenous Oct4, Nanog, Sox2, Rex1 and SSEA-1, indicating that they were ES-cell like. Immunostaining using anti-Oct4, anti-Nanog anti-Sox2, anti-Rex1 and anti-SSEA-1 antibodies were performed with GFP+ iPSCs generated from OKSM+Zfp322a. (D) GFP+ iPSCs generated by OKSM+Zfp322a were able to express ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm lineage markers in the EB formation assay. iPSCs were stained with anti-Nestin, anti-Gata4 and anti-alpha smooth muscle actin (SMA) antibodies and pictures were taken at 60× magnification. DAPI (blue) served as nucleus marker. (E) Zfp322a was able to replace Sox2, but not Oct4 or Klf4 in OSKM reprogramming process. Results from three independent experiments were presented. (F) iPSCs generated from OKM plus Zfp322a were positive with AP staining and more AP positive colonies were observed in OKM+Zfp322a as compared to OKSM. (G) iPSCs generated by OKM plus Zfp322a expressed pluripotency markers Oct4, Nanog, Sox2, Rex1 and SSEA-1. (H) iPSCs derived from OKM+Zfp322a could differentiate into ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm lineages, which were showed by anti-Nestin, anti-Gata4, anti-SMA staining respectively.

Nestin in C2C12 Mouse Cell Line.

Nestin was detected in immersion fixed C2C12 mouse myoblast cell line using Mouse Anti-Mouse/Rat Nestin Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB2736) at 25 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm. Staining was performed using our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Non-adherent Cells.

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).
