Nestin Monoclonal Antibody (3k1), Invitrogen™

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Thermo Scientific MA126777

Catalog No. PIMA126777

Description

MA1-26777 detects Nestin from human samples. MA1-26777 will not react with rodent. MA1-26777 has been successfully used in immunofluorescence applications. The MA1-26777 immunogen is NS0 cells transfected with a fragment corresponding to residues 618-1618 of human Nestin. Keep as concentrated solution. Store at 4°C short term. For extended storage aliquot- add 50% glycerol and store at -20°C or below. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

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 predomit 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.
