Oct-4 Antibody (600-401-A95) in WB
Western blot using Rocklands affinity purified anti-Oct4 antibody shows detection of endogenous Oct4 in mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cell lysate (lane 1) and HeLa nuclear extract (HN) (lane 2). The band at ~39 kDa (arrow head) corresponds to Oct4. After transfer, the membrane was blocked with 5% BSA. Primary antibody was used at a 1:1,000 dilution in PBS containing 5% BSA. The specificity of the antibody was confirmed by peptide competition which blocks reaction of the antibody with Oct4 (lanes 3 and 4, respectively).

Product Specific Information
Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.
This antibody reacts with human and mouse Oct-4 protein. Cross-reactivity with Oct-4 from other species has not been tested. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest additional cross-reactivity with Oct-4 from chimpanzee, macaque and horse based on a 100% homology with the immunizing sequence; and mink, dog, bovine and pig based on a 93% homology.
Target Information
POU5F1, also commonly known as Oct-4, is a maternally expressed octamer-binding protein that was the first transcription factor described for the early stages of development. The role of POU5F1 in embryonic development suggested that it might be useful in the creation of stem cells that might be useful in cell replacement therapies in the treatment of several degenerative diseases. Artificial stem cells, termed induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, can be created by expressing POU5F1 and the transcription factors Sox2, Klf4 and Lin28 along with c-Myc in mouse fibroblasts. More recently, experiments have demonstrated that iPS cells could be generated using expression plasmids expressing POU5F1, Sox2, KlfF4 and c-Myc, eliminating the need for virus introduction, thereby addressing a safety concern for potential use of iPS cells in regenerative medicine.
