Product Specific Information

Heat-mediated antigen retrieval is recommended prior to staining, using a 10mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10 minutes followed by cooling at room temperature for 20 min. Following antigen retrieval, incubate samples with primary antibody for 30 min at room temperature. A suggested positive control is liver hepatoma.

Target Information

Nestin is a Class VI intermediate filament abundantly produced in the developing central nervous system (CNS) and in early embryonic neuroepithelial stem cells. Nestin has been widely used as a predominant marker for stem/progenitor cells, glioma cells, and tumor endothelial cells. Also, Nestin is a superior angiogenic marker to evaluate neovascularity of endothelial cells in tumors. Highly specific antibodies to human Nestin can aid in characterizing progenitor cells differentiating into distinct lineages, in enhancing the therapeutic potential of human neural stem/progenitor cells in the treatment of CNS diseases or injury, and in identifying neuroepithelial tumor cells. Nestin expression has been observed in pancreatic hematopoietic stem cell populations, and is considered a novel angiogenesis marker of proliferating endothelial cells in colorectal cancer tissue.
