Nestin (ESTM46, FLJ21841, Intermediate Filament Protein, Nbla00170, Nes)
Description:
Nestin is a class VI intermediate filament protein that is expressed in stem cells of the central nervous system (CNS) but not in mature CNS cells. Nestin expression is used extensively as a marker for CNS stem cells in the developing nervous system and in vitro cultured cells. Its transient expression is a critical step in the neural differentiation pathway. Nestin is also expressed in non-neural stem cell populations, such as pancreatic islet progenitors and hematopoietic progenitors.

Applications:
Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry, Western Blot, Immunoprecipitation, Immunohistochemistry and Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
Western Blot: 1:1000-1:5000
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded): 20ug/ml
Immunocytochemistry: 1:100-1:500
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
