Product Specific Information

The monoclonal antibody 10C2 recognizes human nestin (residues 1464–1614).
Nestin is a 220–240 kDa Class VI intermediate filament protein expressed in stem cells of the developing nervous system. Expression is also found in pancreatic islet and mesenchymal precursors, as well as in cells with angiogenic potential. Upon differentiation, nestin filaments are replaced by cell type-specific intermediate filament proteins such as GFAP. Expression has been identified in various cancer cells including glioblastomas and pancreatic tumors. No cross-reactivity to rodent nestins has been observed with 10C2 antibody.

Applications Reported:
This antibody is suitable for microscopy, immunocytochemistry, immunohistochemical staining, and flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested:
Validated for immunocytochemistry of formaldehyde-fixed and permeabilized cells at ≤10 µg/mL. Optimal dilution should be determined experimentally.

Fluorescence Properties:
Excitation: 488 nm
Emission: 519 nm
Laser: Blue Laser
Filtration: 0.2 µm post-manufacturing filtered.

Target Information

Nestin is a Class VI intermediate filament abundantly produced in the developing CNS and early embryonic neuroepithelial stem cells. It serves as a key marker for stem/progenitor cells, glioma cells, and tumor endothelial cells. Nestin is also a superior angiogenic marker used to evaluate tumor neovascularity. Specific antibodies to human Nestin facilitate characterization of progenitor cells, enhance therapeutic potential of neural stem/progenitor cells, and aid in identifying neuroepithelial tumor cells. Nestin expression has been noted in pancreatic hematopoietic stem cell populations and is considered a novel angiogenesis marker in colorectal cancer tissue.
