Specificity/Sensitivity	Oct-4 (D7O5Z) Mouse mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total Oct-4 protein. This antibody does not perform optimally on mouse cells in immunofluorescence assays.
Species Reactivity	Human, Mouse
Source/Purification	Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Phe38 of human Oct-4 protein.
Background	Oct-4 (POU5F1) is a transcription factor highly expressed in undifferentiated embryonic stem cells and embryonic germ cells (1). A network of key factors that includes Oct-4, Nanog, and Sox2 is necessary for the maintenance of pluripotent potential, and downregulation of Oct-4 has been shown to trigger cell differentiation (2,3). Research studies have demonstrated that Oct-4 is a useful germ cell tumor marker (4). Oct-4 exists as two splice variants, Oct-4A and Oct-4B (5). Recent studies have suggested that the Oct-4A isoform has the ability to confer and sustain pluripotency, while Oct-4B may exist in some somatic, non-pluripotent cells (6,7).
