BV510 Mouse Anti-Oct3/4
BV510 Mouse Anti-Oct3/4
Flow cytometric analysis of Mouse anti-Oct3/4 expression in human embryonic stem (ES) cells. H9 human ES cells (WiCell, Madison, WI) were cultured and then harvested using Accutase™ Cell Detachment Solution (Cat. No. 561527).  The cells were then fixed with BD Cytofix™ buffer (Cat. No. 554655) and permeabilized with BD Phosflow™ Perm Buffer III (Cat. No. 558050). The cells were stained with either BD Horizon™ BV510 Mouse anti-Oct3/4 (Cat. No. 563524, solid line) or BD Horizon™ BV510 Mouse IgG1, κ Isotype Control (Cat. No. 562946, dashed line) at matched concentrations. Histograms were derived from gated events based on light scattering characteristics of H9 human ES cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD LSRFortessa™ Flow Cytometry System.

Preparation And Storage

Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated with BD Horizon™ BV510 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free BD Horizon™ BV510 were removed.

40/Oct-3

Development of a multicellular organism from a single fertilized cell is regulated by the coordinated activity of DNA transcription factors.  Oct3/4, a member of the POU family of transcription factors, functions in pluripotent cells of early embryonic stem cell (ES) lines and embryonal carcinomas (EC).  Other members of the POU family include Oct1, Oct2, Pit-1, and unc-86.  The POU domain, a 150-amino acid region that determines binding specificity, is conserved among these proteins and consists of 3 subdomains: POU-specific A and B subdomains and a homeobox-like subdomain.  Oct3/4 is expressed in undifferentiated cells, but is lost as cells are induced to differentiate.  Oct3/4 is not expressed in adult tissues.  The interaction of Oct3/4 with SOX2, another embryonic transcription factor, produces an active complex that regulates expression of genes such as Nanog, UTF1, and FGF4.  Although Oct3/4 is specifically phosphorylated on serine residues, this modification is not required for DNA binding, but may affect its transactivation potential.  Thus, Oct3/4 is a transcription factor that plays an important role in determining early steps of embryogenesis and differentiation.

The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV510 which is part of the BD Horizon™ Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 405-nm and Em Max at 510-nm, BD Horizon™ BV510 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the BD Horizon™ V500 (525/50-nm) filter set. BD Horizon™ BV510 conjugates are useful for the detection of dim markers off the violet laser.

BV510
The BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ 510 (BV510) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This polymer-technology based dye with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 327-nm / 405-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 512-nm. BV510, driven by BD innovation, is designed to be excited by the violet laser (405-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 510-nm (e.g., a 525/50 bandpass filter). The dye can be excited by the UV (355-nm) laser resulting in cross-laser excitation and spillover. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
