Spontaneous differentiation of human ES H9 (WiCell, Madison, WI). H9 cells, passage 31, grown in mTESR™1 media (StemCell Technologies) on BD Matrigel™ hESC-qualified Matrix (Cat. No. 354277) were treated with human ES basal culture media that contained Knockout™ Serum Replacement (LifeTechnologies) and 10µM Retinoic Acid (Sigma) for 3 days. Cells were harvested with Accutase™ (Innovative Cell Technologies) on Day 0 (left panel), Day 1 (middle panel) and Day 3 (right panel), fixed In BD Cytofix™ buffer (Cat. No. 554655), permeabilized with BD™ Phosflow Perm/Wash buffer I (Cat. No. 557885) and stained with PE anti-human Nanog (solid line) or PE Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No.554680). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD™ LSR II flow cytometry system. This reagent will also work in BD™ Phosphlow Perm II and III buffers.

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).
- 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.
The N31-355 monoclonal antibody reacts with human Nanog (named for Tir Na Nog, the land of the ever-young of Celtic mythology), which is a homeobox transcription factor required for the maintenance of the undifferentiated state of pluripotent stem cells. Nanog expression counteracts the differentiation-promoting signals induced by the extrinsic factors LIF (Leukemia Inhibitory Factor) and BMP (Bone Morphogenic Protein). When Nanog expression is down-regulated, cell differentiation can proceed. Proteins that regulate Nanog expression include transcription factors Oct4, SOX2, FoxD3, and Tcf3 and tumor suppressor p53. Nanog is one of the factors that can contribute to reprogramming of differentiated cells to an induced pluripotent stem cell state.
