Anti olig2 antibody

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

The Anti-Olig2 antibody is a laboratory reagent used in research applications. It is a monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to the Olig2 protein, which is a transcription factor involved in the development and differentiation of oligodendrocytes, the myelin-producing cells in the central nervous system. The antibody can be used in various techniques, such as immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, to detect and quantify the Olig2 protein in biological samples.

Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich). After 15–20 minutes, we washed cells with 0.1% BSA/PBS washing buffer 3 times and blocked for 1 hour by adding 0.3% triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich) and 10% normal goat serum (Invitrogen). After blocking, cells were incubated with primary antibodies at 4°C overnight. Anti-NG2 antibody (1: 200; Chemicon, Temecula, CA, USA), anti-Nestin antibody (1:500; BD Biosciences, NJ, USA), anti-Olig2 antibody (1:1000; Chemicon), anti-MBP antibody (1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, UK), anti-A2B5 antibody (1:200; R&D systems), anti-PDGF-R antibody (1:200; R&D systems), and anti-O4 antibody (1:500; R&D systems) were used. Biotin was reacted for 30 minutes, and fluorescence-tagged antibody was reacted for one hour. Cells were mounted in VECTASHIELD with DAPI mounting medium (Vector Laboratories, Burlingame, CA, USA).

Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde (Sigma-Aldrich) for 15∼20 minutes at room temperature. Cells were blocked and permeabilized with 10% normal goat serum (Pel-Freez) and 0.3% Triton X-100 (Sigma-Aldrich) in 0.1% bovine serum albumin/phosphate buffered saline (BSA/PBS) for 1 hour. Samples were incubated with primary antibodies at 4℃ overnight. The samples were then washed three times with 0.1% BSA/PBS and incubated with secondary antibodies at room temperature for 1 hour. The cells were counterstained with 4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylin-dole (Vector Laboratories) and mounted using a mounting solution. Images were captured using an epifluorescence microscope (LEICA Microsystems). The primary antibodies used in this study were as follows: anti-NESTIN (1:500; BioLegend), anti-SOX2 (1:1,000; Sigma-Aldrich), anti-ZO1 (1:50; Thermo Fisher Scientific), anti-PAX6 (1:200; Novus Biologicals), anti-TUJ1 (1:2,000; BioLegend), anti-TH (1:2,000; Pel-Freez), anti-glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP, 1:2,000; DAKO), anti-OLIG2 antibody (1:1,000; Chemicon), anti-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) Class I+HLA A/B (1:200, MHC-I; Abcam), anti-MHC Class II (1:200, MHC-II; Abcam). The secondary antibodies used were Alexa Fluor 488 (1:500; Ther-mo Fisher Scientific), Rhodamine, or Cy3 (1:500; Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories).

Comprehensive Immunohistochemical Analysis of Neural Markers

Immunohistochemical analysis was performed using primary antibodies for glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba-1), myelin basic protein
(MBP), neurofilament 200 kDa (NF), and oligodendrocyte transcription factor (olig-2). After de-paraffinization, sections were transferred into citric acid buffer (pH 6.0) and boiled for 20
min at 98°C in a microwave processor (MI-77, Azuma, Tokyo, Japan) to retrieve the antigens. Endogenous peroxidase activity was blocked with 3% hydrogen peroxide for 15 min and then the
sections were pre-incubated with 10% normal goat serum for 30 min at room temperature. Next, the sections were incubated with a mouse monoclonal anti-GFAP antibody (diluted 1:400, Dako
Denmark, Glostrup, Denmark), a rabbit polyclonal anti-Iba-1 antibody (diluted 1:2,000, Wako, Osaka, Japan), a mouse monoclonal anti-MBP antibody (diluted 1:1,000, Merck, Darmstadt, Germany),
a mouse monoclonal anti-neurofilament antibody (diluted 1:500, Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA), or a rabbit polyclonal anti-olig-2 antibody (diluted 1:500, Millipore) at 4°C overnight. The
reaction was revealed using 3, 3′-diaminobenzidine tetra-hydrochloride as a chromogen (Agilent, Tokyo, Japan), and counterstaining was performed with hematoxylin.

The complete corpus callosum was microdissected from PBS-perfused mice 14 days after progesterone pellet implantation. The tissue was placed into a Petri dish containing 2 ml of digestion buffer, 1 mg/ml of Collagenase D (Roche, Germany), 1 mg/ml of Neutral Protease (Worthington, UK), DNase I (Qiagen, UK), and diced into small pieces with a razor blade before incubation at 37°C for 30 min. Following the incubation, PBS was added to stop the enzymatic digestion and cells washed through a 70 μm filter with FACS buffer and centrifuged at 2,000 rpm for 5 min at 4°C. Isolated cells were incubated on ice for 5 min with anti-Olig2 antibody (1:100, Millipore, CA, USA) or anti-O4 antibody (1:50, Millipore, CA, USA). For the secondary antibody, goat anti-mouse antibody IgG fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) (1:100, Invitrogen, CA, USA) was used. Samples were analyzed with a FACSCalibur flow cytometer (BD Biosciences).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
