Rabbit polyclonal to Stella - Primordial Germ Cell Marker
This antibody recognizes a band of 37 kDa in mouse embryonic germ cell lysate (Predicted molecular weight: 17 kDa). The band is not blocked by the immunizing peptide and may represent non-specific antibody binding. The level of Stella expression in cultured embryonic germ cells is unknown. We do not have appropriate materials for a definitive test of this antibody in Western Blot at present.

Stella is a gene specifically expressed in primordial germ cells, oocytes, preimplantation embryos and pluripotent cells. It encodes a protein with a SAP-like domain and a splicing factor motif-like structure, suggesting possible roles in chromosomal organization or RNA processing. Embryos without Stella are compromised in preimplantation development and rarely reach the blastocyst stage.
Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Stella antibody - Germ Cell Marker (ab19878)

The image shows ab19878 staining of a crysosection of mouse embryonic genital ridges (E14.5). The samples were fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde, permeabilised with 0.1% Triton and stained overnight at 4 degrees. 4µg/ml of antibody was used. Staining was in the nucleus and cytoplasm of Oct4-positive cells. The blue fluorescence is DAPI staining of DNA.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-Stella antibody - Primordial Germ Cell Marker (ab19878)

ICC/IF image of ab19878 stained mouse embryonic stem cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab19878, 5µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was ab96899, DyLight® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/250 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.
