Analysis of Nestin expression in rat glioma. C6 cells (ATCC, Cat. No. CCL-107) were fixed (BD Cytofix™ buffer, Cat. No. 554655) for 20 minutes at room temperature, permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer I (Cat. No. 557885), and then stained with either PE Mouse anti-Nestin (solid line) or PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Clone MOPC-21, Cat. No. 554680, dashed line). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD LSR™ II flow cytometry system. This antibody conjugate is also compatible with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffers II and III.

Analysis of Nestin expression in human Neural Stem Cells (NSC). NSC were derived from H9 human embryonic stem cells (WiCell, Wisconsin) and grown for 8 passages, fixed (BD Cytofix™ buffer, Cat. No. 554655) for 20 minutes at room temperature, permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer I (Cat. No. 557885), and then stained with either PE Mouse anti-Nestin (solid line) or PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Clone MOPC-21, Cat. No. 554680, dashed line). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD LSR™ II flow cytometry system. This antibody conjugate is also compatible with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffers II and III.

Preparation And Storage

The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed. Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.

Recommended Assay Procedures

This antibody conjugate is suitable for intracellular staining of human and rat cell lines using BD Cytofix™ Fixation Buffer and the BD Phosflow™ Permeabilization Buffers: Perm/Wash Buffer I, Perm Buffer II, or Perm Buffer III (see Suggested Companion Products).

Product Notices

Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.
Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.

Antibody Details

25/NESTIN

The cytoskeleton consists primarily of core structural proteins that include microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments (IFs). IFs contain more than 50 distinct proteins that are organized into six different subtypes: Type I/II keratins expressed in epithelia, type III vimentin/desmin, type IV neurofilament proteins, type V nuclear lamins, and type VI nestin expressed primarily in embryonic cells. Nestin has a conserved core region (amino acids 7 to 314), which contains an α helical domain that is involved in coiled-coil assembly of IFs. The C-terminal region of nestin is similar to type IV IFs, since it contains highly charged amino acids, many glutamate residues, and an 11 amino acid repeat motif. Nestin is expressed in the cerebrum during embryonic development, in the cerebellum during early postnatal development, and in dermatomal cells and myoblasts during myogenesis. In vitro, nestin forms homodimers and homotetramers, but not IFs, and can co-assemble with type III vimentin and type IV internexin proteins. Thus, nestin is a core IF protein that is essential for proper cytoskeletal formation during neurogenesis and myogenesis.

Format Details

R-Phycoerythrin (PE), is part of the BD family of Phycobiliprotein dyes. This fluorochrome is a multimeric fluorescent phycobiliprotein with excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 496 nm and 566 nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 576 nm. PE is designed to be excited by the Blue (488 nm), Green (532 nm) and Yellow-Green (561 nm) lasers and detected using an optical filter centered near 575 nm (e.g., a 575/26-nm bandpass filter). As PE is excited by multiple lasers, this can result in cross-laser excitation and fluorescence spillover on instruments with various combinations of Blue, Green, and Yellow-Green lasers. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
