Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Antibody Array

Introduction

The Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Antibody Array is a rapid, sensitive, and economical tool to simultaneously detect the relative expression of 15 pluripotent stem cell markers in a single sample. No specialized equipment is necessary.

Simultaneously detect the relative levels of these pluripotent stem cell markers in a single sample.
alpha-Fetoprotein GATA-4 p63/TP73L
Oct-3/4 HNF-3 beta/FoxA2 Goosecoid
Nanog PDX-1/IPF1 Snail
SOX2 SOX17 VEGF R2/KDR
E-Cadherin Otx2 HCG

General Assay Principle

Carefully selected capture antibodies have been spotted in duplicate on nitrocellulose membranes. Cell lysate samples are diluted and mixed with a cocktail of biotinylated detection antibodies. The sample/antibody mixture is then incubated with the array. Any protein/detection antibody complex present is bound by its cognate immobilized capture antibody on the membrane. Streptavidin-Horseradish Peroxidase and chemiluminescent detection reagents are added, and a signal is produced in proportion to the amount of cytokine bound. Chemiluminescence is detected in the same manner as a Western blot.

  • Detailed Protocol
The Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Array detects multiple stem cell markers in differentiated BG01V cell extracts. Arrays were incubated with 200 µg of each cell extract shown above. Array images shown were collected from 3 minute exposures to X-ray film. Labels on the films correspond to the same proteins quantified on the bar chart.
