ChIC/CUT&RUN sequencing - Anti-Oct4 antibody [EPR17980] (AB200834)
ChIC/CUT&RUN was performed using a pAG-MNAse at a final concentration of 700 ng/mL, 2 x 10^5 NCCIT (Human pluripotent embryonic carcinoma cell line) cells and 5 µg of ab200834 [EPR17980]. The resulting DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of 10 million reads. The negative IgG control ab172730 is also shown. The ChIP data was conducted on chromatin prepared from NCCIT cells. Cells were fixed with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes. ChIP was performed with 10^7 NCCIT cells and 8 µg of ab200834. ChIP DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of 30 million reads. Additional screenshots of mapped reads can be found in the Protocol booklet in the Product Protocol section.

Biological function summary
Oct4 acts in concert with other pluripotency factors like SOX2 and NANOG to form a regulatory network essential for maintaining stem cell identity. As part of this network the Oct4 transcription factor orchestrates the expression of genes that prevent differentiation and maintain the stem cell's undifferentiated state. The protein directly activates the transcription of target genes involved in maintaining the pluripotent state.
Pathways
Oct4 plays an important role in the maintenance of pluripotency and self-renewal in the embryonic stem cell (ESC) and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) pathways. Oct4 partners with proteins such as SOX2 and KLF4 in these pathways to activate and repress a common set of downstream genes which control differentiation and proliferation. Oct4 ensures the blocking of differentiation signals while promoting self-renewal in pluripotent cells.
