Detection of Oct-3/4 antibody in BG01V Human Cells antibody by Flow Cytometry.

Detection of Oct‑3/4 in BG01V Human Cells by Flow Cytometry.

BG01V human embryonic stem cells were stained with Rat Anti-Human/Mouse Oct-3/4 PE-conjugated Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # IC1759P, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # IC013P, open histogram). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with Flow Cytometry Fixation Buffer (Catalog # FC004) and permeabilized with Flow Cytometry Permeabilization/Wash Buffer I (Catalog # FC005).

Background: Oct-3/4

Oct-3/4, also termed Oct-3 or Oct-4, is a POU transcription factor that is expressed in totipotent embryonic stem and germ cells (1- 3). Oct-3/4 is required to sustain stem cell self-renewal and pluripotency (4). It is considered a master regulator of pluripotency that controls lineage commitment and is the most widely recognized marker of totipotent embryonic stem cells.
