Product overview
Mouse Nestin ELISA Kit (ab223859) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Nestin protein in cell culture extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse Nestin with 7.6 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Notes
Nestin is an intermediate filament protein and is a marker for neural stem cells. Nestin is required for brain and eye development. Nestin expression generally doesn’t persist into adult hood, with the exception of the neuronal precursor cells of the subgranular zone. After cells have differentiated Nestin is downregulated and is replaced by tissue-specific intermediate filament proteins.

Research areas
-
Function
Required for brain and eye development. Promotes the disassembly of phosphorylated vimentin intermediate filaments (IF) during mitosis and may play a role in the trafficking and distribution of IF proteins and other cellular factors to daughter cells during progenitor cell division. Required for survival, renewal and mitogen-stimulated proliferation of neural progenitor cells. -
Tissue specificity
CNS stem cells. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the intermediate filament family. -
Developmental stage
Upon terminal neural differentiation, nestin is down-regulated and replaced by neurofilaments. -
Post-translational
modificationsConstitutively phosphorylated. This increases during mitosis when the cytoplasmic intermediate filament network is reorganized. - Information by UniProt

SimpleStep ELISA technology allows the formation of the antibody-antigen complex in one single step, reducing assay time to 90 minutes. Add samples or standards and antibody mix to wells all at once, incubate, wash, and add your final substrate. See protocol for a detailed step-by-step guide.

Interpolated concentrations of native Nestin in Mouse NIH/3T3 cell extract sample and sample based on a 62.5 µg/mL extract loadThe concentrations of Nestin were measured in duplicate and interpolated from the Nestin standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean Nestin concentration was determined to be 678 pg/mL in NIH/3T3 Cell extract.
