We do work on gene and protein expression changes (epigenetic modulators) in neuroglia differentiation and behaviour. This product was used to check the expression of nestin in proliferative and differentiated neuroblastoma cells (N2A cells). Nestin is a good neuronal stem cell marker and can be used to check the neural stemness.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Western Blot

Sample

Neuroblastoma (N2A) cells

Primary Incubation

1:500, overnight 4c,

Blocking Agent

5%BSA in 1xTBST(0.1%TritonX100)

Secondary Incubation

Antimouse-HRP, 1:10000, 2h at room temperature

Tertiary Incubation

No tertiary incubation

Detection

Chem-doc was used to detect the chemiluminiscence

Results Summary

The Nestin levels are high in the proliferative stage of neuronal cells compared to the differentiated cells.

Additional Notes

None

Summary

The Good

No non specific bands

The Bad

Dilution is less (1:500) which consumes more antibody and leads to high cost

The Bottom Line

Good neural stem cell marker to use.
