Overview

Product Description Nestin is an intermediate filament protein expressed in dividing cells during the early development stages of nervous system and is utilized as a neural stem cell marker. The neural stem cells loss Nestin expression once the cell fate is determined. Following gliogenesis, Nestin is replaced by cell type-specific intermediate filaments, e.g., GFAP for astrocytes.

Glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) is the major intermediate filament protein in mature astrocytes, a main type of glial cells in the central nervous system (CNS). GFAP is used as a marker to distinguish astrocytes from other glial cells during development.

arigo’s ARG30006 NSC and Astrocyte Marker Antibody Duo (GFAP, Nestin) is excellent for distinguishing neural stem cells and mature astrocytes. Moreover, as GFAP is also expressed in adult neural progenitors. This antibody duo is also excellent for identification of adult neural progenitors in brain tissue.

    Immunohistochemistry: Frozen section of Mouse C57BL/6Jnarl brain tissue. The tissue section was fixed by 4% formalin and blocked with BSA with 3% Goat serum, at RT for 1 hour. Tissue section was then stained with ARG52312 anti-GFAP antibody at 1:500 dilution, in PBS with 1% Goat serum, overnight at 4°C.

    Immunofluorescence: Cultured neonatal Rat neurons and glia showing nestin labeling in red (ARG52345 Nestin antibody [4D11]) and vimentin (ARG52468 anti-Vimentin antibody) in green.

    Astrocytes and neuronal stem cells stain strongly and specifically in a clearly filamentous fashion with the anti-Nestin antibody. The presence of Nestin indicates that the cells are developing astrocytes, neuroblasts or undifferentiated neural stem cells.

    Immunofluorescence: Cortical neuron-glial cells from E20 Rat stained with ARG52345 anti-Nestin antibody [4D11] (red) at 1:500 dilution and costained with ARG52328 anti-MAP2 antibody (green) at 1:5000 dilution. Hoechst (blue) for nuclear staining.

    The Nestin antibody labels developing astrocytes and neuronal stem cells in a clearly filamentous fashion, while the MAP2 antibody stains dendrites and perikarya of mature neurons.
