Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat SOX2 Antibody

Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat SOX2 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human, Mouse, and Rat SOX2 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of D3 mouse embryonic stem cell line, NTera-2 human testicular embryonic carcinoma cell line, F9 mouse teratocarcinoma stem cells, and rat cortical stem cells. PVDF membrane was probed with 1 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat SOX2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2018) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF017). A specific band was detected for SOX2 at approximately 36 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.
Detection of SOX2-regulated Genes antibody by Chromatin Immunoprecipitation.

Detection of SOX2-regulated Genes by Chromatin Immunoprecipitation.

BG01V human embryonic stem cells were fixed using formaldehyde, resuspended in lysis buffer, and sonicated to shear chromatin. SOX2/DNA complexes were immunoprecipitated using 5 µg Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat SOX2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2018) or control antibody (AB-108-C) for 15 minutes in an ultrasonic bath, followed by Biotinylated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (BAF109). Immunocomplexes were captured using 50 µL of MagCellect Streptavidin Ferrofluid (MAG999) and DNA was purified using chelating resin solution. Thenanogpromoter was detected by standard PCR.
SOX2 antibody in Mouse Cortical Stem Cells by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

SOX2 in Mouse Cortical Stem Cells.

SOX2 was detected in immersion fixed undifferentiated mouse cortical stem cells using Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat SOX2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2018) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; (NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (blue). Nestin was also detected in stem cells using Mouse Anti-Mouse/Rat Nestin Monoclonal Antibody (MAB2736) and co-stained using the NorthernLights™ 493-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (green; NL009). Specific staining of SOX2 was localized to nuclei. View our protocol for Fluorescent ICC Staining of Stem Cells on Coverslips.

Background: SOX2

SOX2 belongs to the SOX (SRY-like HMG box) family of transcription factors with diverse roles in development. SOX2 functions in specifying the first three lineages present at implantation and in regulating proliferation and differentiation in the developing peripheral nervous system (1-5).
