Product overview
Embryonic Stem Cell Marker Panel (Human) ab109884 contains 50µg of Oct4 rabbit polyclonal, 50µg of Tra-1-60 mouse monoclonal, 50µl of Nanog rabbit polyclonal antibody, 50µg of SOX2 rabbit polyclonal antibody and 50µl of SSEA4 mouse monoclonal antibodies.
The Human Embryonic Stem Cell Marker Panel is designed for the validation and characterization of cultured or newly derived human embryonic stem (ES) cell lines. The panel contains five antibodies to well known markers of human ES cells (Oct4, Nanog, SOX2, SSEA4 and Tra-1-60). Embryonic stem cells are isolated from the inner cell mass of the early blastocyst. They have two properties that make them unique. Firstly, under defined conditions they can self-renew indefinitely and secondly they are pluripotent, which means they can differentiate into all three germ layers (ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm).

Images
-
This image shows a colony of Human Embryonic Stem Cells stained with dapi (blue), anti-Oct4 antibody ab19857 (red) and Tra-1-60 antibody ab16288 (green). The nuclei of Oct4-positive undifferentiated hESCs stained bright red, whereas Tra-1-60 staining was seen at the cell membrane. These antibodies can be used as markers of undifferentiated Human Embryonic Stem Cells.
-
ICC/IF image of Sox2 (ab97959) stained Human Embryonic Stem Cells. The cells were paraformaldehyde fixed and then incubated in 1% serum / 0.01% triton / 0.1% BSA in PBS for 30min to permeabilize the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab97959, 1/500 dilution) overnight at +4°C.

NTERA2 Human Embryonic Carcinoma cells were stained with SSEA4 antibody ab16287. As expected, staining localised to the cell surface (green). Nuclei are stained blue using Hoechst.

ICC/IF image of Nanog (ab21624) stained Human Embryonic Stem Cells. The cells were paraformaldehyde fixed and then incubated in 1% serum / 0.1% triton / 0.1% BSA in PBS for 30min to permeabilize the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab21624, 1/300 dilution) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/500 dilution.
