General description

Transcription factor SOX-2 (UniProt: P48431; also known as SOX-2, Sex determining region Y-box 2, SRY-related HMG-box gene 2) is encoded by the SOX2 gene (Gene ID: 6657) in human. SOX-2 is a transcription factor that forms a trimeric complex with OCT4 on DNA and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic development such as YES1, FGF4, UTF1 and ZFP206. It is shown to be critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency. It may function as a switch in neuronal development. It allows neural cells in undifferentiated state by counteracting the activity of proneural proteins and suppresses neuronal differentiation. Sumoylation of SOX-2 is shown to inhibit binding on DNA and negatively regulate the FGF4 transactivation. Defects in SOX2 gene are linked to microphthalmia that is characterized by eye malformation ranging from small eye size of a single eye to complete bilateral absence of ocular tissue.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes Sox2 C-terminal region.

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to a C-terminal region sequence of human Sox2.

Application

Anti-SOX2 Antibody, Cat. No. AB5603, is a highly specific rabbit polyclonal antibody SOX2 and has been tested for use in Immunocytochemistry, and Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin), and Western Blotting.
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: 10 µg/mL from a representative lot detected Sox2 in H9 human stem cells.
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected nuclear Sox2 immunoreactivity in 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% Triton X-100-permeabilized human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) by fluorescent immunocytochemistry (Kingham, E., et al. (2013). Small. 9(12):2140-2151).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected Sox2 immunoreactivity by fluorescent immunocytochemistry staining of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed iPSCs generated from human kidney tubular renal epithelial cells (Montserrat, N., et al. (2012). J. Biol. Chem. 287(29):24131-24138).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected Sox2 immunoreactivity by fluorescent immunocytochemistry staining of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.5% Triton X-100-permeabilized iPSCs generated from the skin cells of patients with Parkinson′s disease (Sánchez-Danés, A., et al. (2012). EMBO Mol. Med. 4(5):380-395).
Immunocytochemistry Analysis: Representative lots detected Sox2 immunoreactivity by fluorescent immunocytochemistry staining of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.2% Triton X-100-permeabilized iPSCs generated from mouse ear cells and MEF (Burns, J.C., et al. (2012). PLoS One. 7(10):e48704; Hadadeh, O., et al. (2012). PLoS One. 7(11):e49065).
Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected Sox2 in mouse embryonic stem cell (mESC) nuclear extracts (Banaszynski, L.A., et al. (2013). Cell. 155(1):107-120).
Immunofluorescence Analysis: A representative lot detected Sox2-positive cells in 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.3% Triton X-100-permeabilized mouse brain vibratome sections by fluorescent immunohistochemistry (Matsuda, S., et al. (2012). J. Neurosci. 32(36):12543-12557).
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A representative lot detected Sox2 immunoreactivity in 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed whole mount mouse embryo sections (van Rooijen, C., et al. Development. 139(14):2576-2583).
