Immunofluorescence analysis of formaldehyde-fixed HEL 11.4 induced IPS cells, labeling SOX2 using ab171380 (left panel) at a 1/200 dilution overnight. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (central panel). Slides were washed with PBS and incubated with a fluorescein-conjugated secondary antibody at a 1/100 dilution.

Immunohistochemistry analysis of SOX2 showing staining in the nucleus of paraffin-treated human lung squamous carcinoma (right) compared with a negative control without primary antibody (left).

To expose target proteins, antigen retrieval was performed using 10 mM sodium citrate (pH 6.0), microwaved for 8-15 minutes. Following antigen retrieval, tissues were blocked in 3% H2O2-methanol for 15 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with a SOX2 monoclonal antibody (ab171380) diluted by 3% BSA-PBS at a dilution of 1 : 200 overnight at 4°C in a humidified chamber. Tissues were washed extensively in PBST and detection was performed using an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody followed by colorimetric detection using a DAB kit. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and dehydrated with ethanol and xylene to prep for mounting.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-SOX2 antibody [20G5] (AB171380)

REST expression in N-hREST mouse brains correlates with stemness in embryonic neural stem cells. Immunofluorescence analysis of E18.5 N-hREST and LSL-hRESTcontrol littermate mouse brains with antibodies against REST (using an antibody that preferentially recognizes hREST over mouse REST) and SOX2 (using ab171380).

Mice were anesthetized and perfused with phosphate-buffered saline followed by 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA). Brain tissues were then dissected and fixed in 4% PFA overnight at 4 °C. Fixed brain tissues were processed for paraffin embedding and then cut into 5-μm sections.
