Scientific Data

Detection of Human and Mouse Oct‑3/4 by Western Blot. Western blot shows lysates of BG01V human embryonic stem cells and D3 mouse embryonic stem cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human/Mouse Oct-3/4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1759) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF017). A specific band was detected for Oct-3/4 at approximately 48 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Alkaline Phosphatase and Oct‑3/4 in BG01V Human Stem Cells. Alkaline phosphatase (ALPL) and Oct-3/4 were detected in human BG01V embryonic stem cells using 10 µg/mL Human/Mouse/Rat ALPL Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1448) and 10 µg/mL Goat Anti-Human/Mouse Oct-3/4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1759). Cells were incubated with primary antibodies for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained for ALPL using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (pseudo-stained green; Catalog # NL007), and stained for Oct-3/4 using the NorthernLights 637-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL002).

Detection of Oct‑3/4-regulated Genes by Chromatin Immunoprecipitation. BG01V human embryonic stem cells were fixed using formaldehyde, resuspended in lysis buffer, and sonicated to shear chromatin. Oct-3/4/DNA complexes were immunoprecipitated using 5 µg Goat Anti-Human/Mouse Oct-3/4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1759) or control antibody (Catalog # AB-108-C) for 15 minutes in an ultrasonic bath, followed by Biotinylated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # BAF109). Immunocomplexes were captured using 50 µL of MagCellect Streptavidin Ferrofluid (Catalog # MAG999) and DNA was purified using chelating resin solution. Thenanogpromoter was detected by standard PCR.

Detection of Human Oct‑3/4 by Simple WesternTM. Simple Western lane view shows lysates of BG01V human embryonic stem cells and NTera-2 human testicular embryonic carcinoma cell line, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Oct-3/4 at approximately 50 kDa (as indicated) using 20 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human/Mouse Oct-3/4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF1759) followed by 1:50 dilution of HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

Background: Oct-3/4
Oct-3/4, a member of POU transcription factors, was identified as a DNA-binding protein that activates gene transcription via a cis-element containing an octamer motif (1). It is expressed in totipotent embryonic stem and germ cells (2, 3). A critical amount of Oct-3/4 expressed is required to sustain stem cell self-renewal and pluripotency (4). When embryonic stem cells are induced to differentiate, Oct-3/4 is downregulated and this downregulation of Oct-3/4 has proven to be essential for proper and divergent developmental program (5). The Oct-3/4 molecule is not only a master regulator of pluripotency that controls the lineage commitment but also is the most recognized marker used for the identification of totipotent embryonic stem cells.
