Overview
The Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Marker Panel is designed for the validation and characterization of cultured or newly derived mouse embryonic stem (ES) cell lines. The panel contains four antibodies to well known markers of mouse ES cells (Oct4, Nanog, SOX2 and SSEA1). 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).
The antibodies in this panel were selected for their exceptional performance in ICC/IF in mouse cells. In addition, these antibodies have also been tested in a number other applications and species. Please see the individual datasheets for additional information. Recommended working dilutions for ICC/IF in mouse can also be found in the figure legends on this datasheet.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Mouse Embryonic Stem Cell Marker Panel (Oct4, Nanog, SOX2, SSEA1) (ab107156)ICC/IF image of Oct4 (ab19857, green) and SSEA1 (ab16285, red) co-stained mouse embryonic stem cells. The cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and then permeabilized in blocking buffer (0.1% BSA, 1% serum, 0.1% triton in PBS) for 30 minutes at 25°C. The cells were then incubated with Oct4 (1:250) and SSEA1 (1:10) overnight at 4°C. The secondary antibodies, alexa fluor 488 goat anti rabbit IgG (green) and alexa fluor 647 goat anti mouse IgG (red), were both use at a 1:500 dilution for 1 hour. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue). -

Cells were paraformaldehyde fixed and permeabilized in blocking buffer (0.1% BSA, 1% serum, 0.1% triton in PBS) for 30 minutes at 25°C. The primary antibody was diluted 1:200 and incubated with the sample overnight at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor conjugated goat anti rabbit IgG antibody, diluted 1:500, was used as the secondary and incubated with samples for 1 hour at room temperature. -
