We work on using stem cells to model and treat rare pediatric diseases. We differentiate patient-derived iPSCs into neuronal cells and utilize this antibody as a neural progenitor and neuron marker

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Immunofluorescence

Sample

Human differentiated neurons

Primary Incubation

Diluted 1:200 in IF buffer (1X PBS+ 5% Normal Donkey Serum+0.3% Triton X-100) for 1hr at room temperature

Blocking Agent

IF buffer (1X PBS+ 5% Normal Donkey Serum+0.3% Triton X-100) for 1hr at room temperature

Secondary Incubation

Rb. Cy3 IgG (Jackson Immunoresearch) 1:500 in IF buffer (1X PBS+ 5% Normal Donkey Serum+0.3% Triton X-100) for 1hr at room temperature

Tertiary Incubation

Hoescht 1:10,000 in 1X PBS for 5mins at room temperature

Detection

Imaged on EVOS Fl Auto at 40x magnification

Results Summary

Patient-derived iPSCs from rare neurological conditions were differentiated into neurons utilizing a dual SMAD inhibition protocol. Immunofluorescence with this antibody has stained neurons confirming cell identity. The antibody is also used for structural analysis and neuronal identification in mixed cultures.
