Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Nanog (D2A3) XP® Rabbit mAb (Mouse Specific) recognizes endogenous levels of total mouse nanog protein. This antibody is expected to recognize nanog 1a and 1b isoforms. This antibody does not cross-react with human nanog.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of mouse nanog protein.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from F9 and murine iPS cells using Nanog (D2A3) XP® Rabbit mAb (Mouse Specific).

Flow Cytometry

Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometric analysis of NIH/3T3 (blue) and F9 (green) cells using Nanog (D2A3) XP® Rabbit mAb (Mouse Specific).

IF-IC

IF-IC

Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of F9 (left) and NIH/3T3 (right) cells using Nanog (D2A3) XP® Rabbit mAb (Mouse Specific) (green). Actin filaments were labeled with DY-554 phalloidin (red).


Chromatin IP

Chromatin IP

Chromatin immunoprecipitations were performed with cross-linked chromatin from 4 x 106 F9 cells and either 5 μl of Nanog (D2A3) XP® Rabbit mAb (Mouse Specific) or 2 μl of Normal Rabbit IgG #2729 using SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kit (Magnetic Beads) #9003. The enriched DNA was quantified by real-time PCR using SimpleChIP® Mouse Oct-4 Promoter Primers #4653, SimpleChIP® Mouse XIST Intron 1 Primers #4659, and SimpleChIP® Mouse RPL30 Intron 2 Primers #7015. The amount of immunoprecipitated DNA in each sample is represented as signal relative to the total amount of input chromatin, which is equivalent to one.

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).
