Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting  IF-IC=Immunofluorescence (Immunocytochemistry)  F=Flow Cytometry
Reactivity Key:  H=Human
Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.

Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Nanog Antibody detects endogenous levels of total nanog protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a syntheitc( peptide corresponding to amino acid sequence at the N-terminus of human nanog. Antibodies are purified by Protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from NTERA2 and NCCIT cells using Nanog Antibody.

Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometric analysis of HeLa cells (blue) and NTERA2 cells (green) using Nanog Antibody.

IF-IC

IF-IC

Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of NTERA2 cells (left) and HeLa cells (right) using Nanog Antibody (green). Actin filaments have been labeled with DY-554 phalloidin (red).


Background

Nanog is a homeodomain containing transcription factor that is essential for the maintenance of pluripotency and self renewal in embryonic stem cells (1). Nanog expression is controlled by a network of factors including Sox2 and the key pluripotency regulator Oct-4 (1). Recent advances in somatic cell reprogramming have utilized viral expression of combinations of transcription factors including nanog, Oct-4, Sox2, KLF4, c-Myc and Lin28 (2,3).
