Biochem/physiol Actions

Reacts with human Oct-4 only, and detects the Oct-4A isoform. (Note: Please order Catalog No. MAB4419 for use with mouse embryonic stem cells).
The clone reacts strongly with specific nuclear binding to human ES cells and cross-reacts weakly with mouse ES cells.

General description

44 kDa
Octamer-4 (Oct-4), a member of the POU family of transcription factors, has been demonstrated to be vital for the formation of self-renewing pluripotent stem cells. During embryogenesis expression of Oct-4 is limited to pluripotent cells of the inner cell mass (ICM) that contribute to the formation of all fetal cell types. This relationship between Oct-4 and pluripotency has seen this transcription factor emerge as a marker of pluripotent stem cells. Undifferentiated human and murine pluripotent Embryonic Stem (ES) and Embryonic Carcinoma (EC) cells express Oct-4. Additionally, murine Embryonic Germ (EG) cells are also known to express Oct-4. Following stem cell differentiation, the level of Oct-4 expression decreases. Oct-4 expression by human EG cells is not known.
Purified monoclonal antibody for the detection of Human Oct-4.

As the focus of stem cell research undergoes a transition from animal to human models, researchers are in critical need of validated products to support the isolation, maintenance, differentiation, and characterization of human stem cells. While many reagents designed for rodent systems can be applied to human stem cell studies, they are not truly optimized for robust human stem cell culture or analysis. This is why human stem cell researchers have always trusted EMD Millipore, the first provider of commercially available human embryonic stem cells and human neural stem cell lines, to accelerate their research. All of our human stem cell systems are extensively tested in defined media culture, and differentiated progeny are comprehensively characterized with highly validated antibodies and detection reagents.

Millipore’s new STEMCCA lentivirus reprogramming kits make it easier than ever to generate induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. Unlike traditional iPS generation which requires simultaneous co-infection by four separate expression vectors, the STEMCCA kits use a single polycistronic lentiviral vector to improve efficiency and reduce the number of viral integrations. The STEMCCA vector is comprised of the transcription factors Oct-4, Klf4, SOX-2, and c-Myc (OKSM), separated by the self-cleaving 2A peptide and IRES sequences 1,2. It is also available with flanking LoxP sites incorporated for Cre-mediated excision of the exogenous reprogramming transgenes. STEMCCA Vector Advantages: (1) Efficient: uses a single vector with four transcription factors rather than co-transducing four separate expression vectors (2) Minimizes viral integrations: single vector reduces the risks of insertional mutagenesis and viral reactivation and (3) Excisable: Cre/LoxP-regulated version enables removal of reprogramming transgenes.
