NCCIT pluripotent embryonal carcinoma cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (PFA) for ten minutes, permeabilized with 0.5% Triton X-100 for ten minutes, and blocked with 5% FBS for 30 minutes. Then the cells were intracellularly stained with 5 µg/ml anti-Oct4 (Oct3) (clone 3A2A20) Brilliant Violet 421™ (blue) in 5% FBS overnight at 4°C and followed by Alexa Fluor® 488 Phalloidin (green) staining for 20 minutes at 4°C. Nuclei were counterstained with DRAQ5 (red). The image was captured with a 40X objective.

Description

Oct4 (Octamer binding transcription factor 4) is an important marker of the undifferentiated state and central regulator of pluripotency in ES cells. When embryonic stem cells are triggered to differentiate, Oct4 is downregulated, thus providing a model for the early events linked to somatic differentiation in the developing embryo. Oct4 is a nuclear protein, with a predicted molecular weight of 39 kD.
