DescriptionMs X Nestin Antibody, clone 10C2 Human Specific
Background InformationNestin, a large intermediate filament protein (class Type VI) expressed during development and in myotendinous and neuromuscular junctions. Nestin expression is restricted, typically disappearing by E18. Nestin is thought to be a reasonable neuronal marker; however, recent studies have found nestin expression in other cell types such as endothelial cells {Folia Biologica, 44(5):155, 1998}. Nestin identifies the most primitive neuroepithelium but also identifies many other embryonic tissues, so it is not specific for CNS. Nestin expression is seen in almost all GBMs (Glioblastoma mulitformes) and many melanomas (both primary and metastatic) but not in any metastatic carcinoma.

Applications
ApplicationThis Anti-Nestin Antibody, clone 10C2 is validated for use in IC, IH, IH(P), WB for the detection of Nestin.
Key Applications
  • Immunocytochemistry
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin)
  • Western Blotting
Application NotesImmunoblotting: 1:1,000-1:2,000 on denatured protein. Western blot: 1:1000-1:5000. Recognizes a 220-240kDA band on denaturing SDS gels. There is also a 60-64kDa band present in most lysates, the identity of this smaller fragment is unknown but it is not seen in lysates not containing human nestin protein.

WI-38 (ATCC# CCL75) can be used as a positive control. U251 cell line is also positive.

Immunocytochemistry: 1:200 on cells fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with 0.02% Triton

Immunohistochemistry: paraformaldehyde is the preferred fixative: 1:200 on formalin fixed, paraffin embedded tissue sections. Use triton 0.02% in block only; dilution buffer 0.1% BSA; incubations 1-2 hours RT. Human fetal brain is suggested as a positive control. (CA Messam et al, Develop. Brain Res, 134:87-92, 2002; Gu, et al., Brain Res. 943:174-180, 2002). Filamentous staining in the cytoplasm of cells

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Antibody TypeMonoclonal Antibody
Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryNestin is an intermediate filament protein that was first identified with a monoclonal antibody by Hockfield and McKay (1985) [PubMed 4078630]. It is expressed predominantly in stem cells of the central nervous system in the neural tube. Upon terminal neural differentiation, nestin is downregulated and replaced by neurofilaments.[supplied by OMIM]
