Clone: OLIG2-2400

Product Details anti-OLIG2 Antibody

Binding Specificity: AA 1-141

Purpose: OLIG2 (Marker of Glial Brain Tumors) Antibody

Specificity: Olig2, a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, is involved in oligodendroglial specification. Olig2 expression has been reported in most glial tumors, such as oligodendrogliomas and astrocytomas. Although more than half of glioblastomas are positive for Olig2, expression is very weak in terms of both percentage of labeled cells and intensity. No Olig2 expression has been found in the non-glial tumors including neuro-epithelial tumors, ependymomas, sub-ependymomas, medulloblastomas, and non-neuroepithelial tumors, such as CNS lymphomas, meningiomas, schwannomas, atypical teratoid / rhabdoid tumor, and haemangioblastomas. Compared to the strong staining seen in glioma samples, a weak expression is observed in non-tumoral brain tissue (gliosis).

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human.

Purification: 200ug/ml of Ab Purified from Bioreactor Concentrate by Protein A/G.

Immunogen: Recombinant fragment of human OLIG2 protein (around aa 1-141) (exact sequence is proprietary)

Isotype: IgG1, kappa
