IHC staining of purified anti-Olig2 (clone W21023A) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human cerebellum tissue. Following antigen retrieval using Tris-EDTA (10 mM Tris, 1 mM EDTA, 0.05% Tween-20, pH 9.0), the tissue was incubated without (panel A) and with (panel B) 5 μg/mL of primary antibody followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 647 goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405416) for 1 hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 422801). Images were captured with a 40X objective. Scale bar: 50 μm -
Rat cortical stem cells induced to differentiate via FGF withdrawal were fixed with 4% PFA Fixation Buffer (Cat. No. 420801) for 10 minutes and permeabilized with 100% ice-cold methanol for 10 minutes, and blocked with 5% FBS for 1 hour at room temperature. Cells were then stained with 5 μg/mL of purified anti-Olig2 (clone W21023A), followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 594 goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405422) for 1 hour at room temperature. Nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (Cat. No. 422801). Images were captured with a 60X objective. Scale bar: 50 μm -
HL-60 cells (positive cell line, filled histogram) and PC-3 cells (negative cell line, open histogram) were fixed and permeabilized using True-Phos™ Perm Buffer (Cat. No. 425401) and intracellularly stained with Purified anti-Olig2 (clone W21023A), or Purified Rat IgG2b, κ Isotype Control (open histogram, dashed line, representative of both positive and negative cell lines), followed by incubation with Alexa Fluor® 647 Goat anti-rat IgG (Cat. No. 405416).

Olig2 is a transcription factor that plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of the central nervous system. This transcription factor is a master regulator for oligodendrocyte cell specification. Olig2 activates the expression of myelin-associated genes in oligodendrocyte lineage cells, which are essential for proper neuronal function and transmission of nerve impulses. In addition to its role in oligodendrocyte differentiation and maturation, Olig2 also regulates the development and maintenance of motor neurons in the spinal cord and contributes to the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells. Dysregulation of Olig2 expression has been associated with several neurological disorders, including multiple sclerosis and gliomas, highlighting its importance in maintaining normal brain function. Being located on chromosome 21, dysregulation of Olig2 is also associated with Down Syndrome.

-
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded immunohistochemical staining. For immunohistochemistry, a concentration range of 5.0 - 10.0 µg/mL is suggested. For immunocytochemistry, a concentration range of 1.25 - 10.0 μg/mL is recommended. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is 0.25 µg/test. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
- Additional Product Notes
-
For use in intracellular flow cytometry (ICFC), it is recommended to fix/permeabilize with either True-Phos™ Perm Buffer (Cat. No. 425401) or with Cyto-Fast™ Fix/Perm Buffer Set (Cat. No. 426803). Use of TrueNuclear™ Transcription Factor Buffer Set (Cat. No. 424401) is not recommended.
