Scientific Data Images for Rat Nestin Biotinylated 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 Rat Nestin Biotinylated Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # BAF2736) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Streptavidin (yellow; Catalog # NL999) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.

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).
