Contents

OLIG2 Antibody is supplied in PBS containing 0.02% sodium azide.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Isotype

IgG

Immunogen

OLIG2 antibody was raised against a 15 amino acid peptide near the amino terminus of human OLIG2. The immunogen is located within amino acids 80 - 130 of OLIG2.

Cross-reactivity

OLIG2 antibody is human, mouse and rat reactive. It is predicted to not cross-react with other members of the OLIG family of proteins. At least three isoforms of OLIG2 are known to exist; this antibody will detect all three isoforms.

Reactive Species

A02247-1 is reactive to OLIG2 in Human, Mouse, Rat

Observed Molecular Weight

68 kDa

Calculated molecular weight

32.4 kDa

Background of OLIG2

The oligodendrocyte transcription factors 1 and 2 (OLIG1 and OLIG2, respectively) make up part of basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) family of transcription factors that are specifically expressed in zones of the neuroepithelium from which oligodendrocyte precursors emerge (1). Both OLIG1 and OLIG2 genes are downstream targets of Sonic hedgehog and are expressed exclusively in the central nervous system (2). OLIG2 is first observed in the ventral most p3 progenitor domain of the ventral neural tube while OLIG1 is first expressed in the dorsal portion of the p3 domain (2). Mice overexpressing OLIG2 exhibit impaired potassium channel expression in neural progenitors and proliferation of these cells similar to that seen in Down Syndrome, suggesting that OLIG2 may play a role in this pathology (3).

Antibody Validation

Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

Assay Dilutions Recommendation

The recommendations below provide a starting point for assay optimization. The actual working concentration varies and should be decided by the user.

OLIG2 antibody can be used for detection of OLIG2 by Western blot at 1 - 2 μg/ml. Antibody can also be used for Immunohistochemistry at 5 μg/mL. For Immunoflorescence start at 20 μg/mL.
Antibody validated: Western Blot in mouse samples; Immunohistochemistry in mouse and rat samples and Immunofluorescence in mouse and rat samples. All other applications and species not yet tested. Optimal dilutions for each application should be determined by the researcher.
