BD Pharmingen™ Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-Mouse Nanog
Clone M55-312 (RUO)

Flow cytometric analysis of Alexa Fluor® 488 anti-Nanog on mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. Mouse ES-E14TG2a (ATCC, Cat. No. CRL-1821) cells were fixed (BD Cytofix™ buffer, Cat. No. 554655) for 10 minutes at 37°C, permeabilized with BD™ Phosflow Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050) on ice for 30 minutes, and then stained with either Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse anti-Mouse Nanog (solid line) or Alexa Fluor® 488 Mouse IgG1,k Isotype Control (Cat. No.557721 or 557782, dashed line). This antibody also works with BD™ Phosflow Perm Buffer I or II (Cat. No. 557885 or 558052, respectively). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCanto™ II flow cytometry system.

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.
- The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
- 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 M55-312 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse 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.
