Target data

Function

Transcription factor that forms a trimeric complex with OCT4 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206 (By similarity). Binds to the proximal enhancer region of NANOG (By similarity). Critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency (PubMed:18035408). Downstream SRRT target that mediates the promotion of neural stem cell self-renewal (By similarity). Keeps neural cells undifferentiated by counteracting the activity of proneural proteins and suppresses neuronal differentiation (By similarity). May function as a switch in neuronal development (By similarity).

Notes

Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] (ab92494) was developed by Abcam using patented rabbit monoclonal antibody technology and is validated for use in ICC/IF, IHC - Wmt, IHC-P, WB and sELISA.

Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] (ab92494) was first used in a scientific publication in 2011 and has been cited over 236 times in peer reviewed journals. It's performance in Western Blot in human samples is trusted by the scientific community.

Abcam's high quality manufacturing and validation processes ensure Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] (ab92494) has high sensitivity and specificity alongside high lot-to-lot consistency and reproducibility.

Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] (ab92494) has 23 independent reviews from customers.

Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] (ab92494) specifically detects SOX2 (UniProt ID: P48431; Molecular weight: 35kDa) and is sold in 100 µL and 1 mL selling sizes.

Conjugation-ready, carrier free format available for antibody clone EPR3131 - Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] - BSA and Azide free ab215970.

Antibody clone EPR3131 is also available pre-conjugated to a variety of labels for your convenience - Alexa Fluor® 488, Alexa Fluor® 647, Alexa Fluor® 594, Alexa Fluor® 568, Alexa Fluor® 555 (Alexa Fluor® 488 Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] ab195358, Alexa Fluor® 647 Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] ab196637, Alexa Fluor® 594 Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] ab302657, Alexa Fluor® 568 Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] ab302801, Alexa Fluor® 555 Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] ab305364).

SOX2 is a crucial transcription factor in neuro research, particularly for its role in maintaining neural stem cell pluripotency and regulating neural development. It is essential for the proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells, influencing brain development and repair. Researchers use SOX2 to study neural stem cell behaviour, neurogenesis and the mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental disorders, making it vital for understanding brain development and potential regenerative therapies Additionally, SOX2 plays a significant role in gliomas, particularly glioblastoma (GBM), the most aggressive form of brain cancer. Elevated SOX2 levels are associated with poor prognosis and tumor progression in glioblastoma patients. Targeting SOX2 expression and function is being explored as a potential therapeutic strategy to combat gliomas and improve patient outcomes.

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] (ab92494)

    Immunohistochemical analysis of formalin fixed paraffin embedded human glioma labelling SOX2 with ab92494 at a concentration of 0.1µg/ml.

    The immunostaining was performed on a Ventana DISCOVERY ULTRA (Roche Tissue Diagnostics) instrument with an OptiView DAB IHC Detection Kit. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was conducted for 32min with DISCOVERY cell conditioning solution (CC1) 100°C, pH8.5. ab92494 anti-SOX2 was incubated at 37°C for 16min.

    Sections were counterstained is with Hematoxylin II. Image inset shows absence of staining in secondary antibody only control.

    Customers are encouraged to optimise antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentration, incubation times and temperature for best results in their own IHC assay workflow (automated and manual)

    Immunocytochemistry - Anti-SOX2 antibody [EPR3131] (ab92494)

    Immunocytochemistry analysis of paraformaldehyde-fixed human Neuromesodermal Progenitors permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 staining with ab92494 at 1/200 dilution. Secondary antibody was Alexa Fluor® 647 Donkey anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Highly Cross-Adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution. Samples were incubated with the primary antibody with Blocking buffer for 18 hours at 4°C. Blocking was done using 10% serum for 1 hour at 25°C. 10% FCS, 0.1% BSA in PBS was used for blocking.
