Molecular Probes™ Human Neural Stem Cell Immunocytochemistry Kit
Description
Easily scalable to any culture plate, dish, or slide format, the Human Neural Stem Cell Immunocytochemistry Kit comes with reagents sufficient to run 20 samples using a 50μL staining volume.
Confirm Expression of NSC Markers
The antibodies included in the kit have been carefully selected for high performance in ICC analysis of NSCs. These antibodies are well suited for the characterization of NSCs generated using Gibco™ PSC Neural Induction Medium.
Get More Information Per Sample
Save time and precious sample. The antibody combinations in this kit have been designed to allow for simultaneous assessment of two markers at a time (e.g., nestin & SOX2 or SOX1 & PAX6) along with nuclear DNA staining.
Generate Beautiful Multiplexed Images
Powered by the superior performance of bright, photostable Alexa Fluor™ dyes, this kit enables the acquisition of beautiful multiplexed images of NSC marker expression using commonly available blue, green, and orange/red filter sets.
Process Samples with Confidence
Pre-tested fixation, permeabilization, blocking, and wash buffers allow you to focus on answering scientific questions rather than spending time determining reagent compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Yes, the primary antibodies from the Human Neural Stem Cell Immunocytochemistry Kit (Cat. No. A24354) can be purchased separately. Here are the catalog numbers:
- Nestin Monoclonal Antibody (10C2), eBioscience (Cat. No. 14984382)
- SOX2 Polyclonal Antibody (Cat. No. 481400)
- PAX6 Polyclonal Antibody (Cat. No. 426600)
- SOX1 Goat anti-Human, Mouse, Rat, Polyclonal, R&D Systems; available through Fisher Scientific (Cat. No. AF3369)
If you use Alexa Fluor 488/Alexa Fluor 555 dye-conjugated secondary antibodies and you have a Cy5/Alexa Fluor 647 filter set, you may use a far-red nucleic acid stain, such as NucRed Dead 647 ReadyProbes Reagent (Cat. No. R37113) or SYTOX Deep Red Nucleic Acid Stain (Cat. No. S11380). Do not use these far-red nucleic acid stains if using an Alexa Fluor 594 dye-conjugated secondary antibody as there is too much spectral overlap of Alexa Fluor 594 into the Cy5/Alexa Fluor 647 range.
We do not recommend using the Human Neural Stem Cell Immunocytochemistry Kit for flow cytometry analysis. The kit and protocol were specifically developed for imaging analysis (microscopy/high-content screening (HCS)).
Only the NucBlue Fixed Cell ReadyProbes Reagent may be purchased separately as Cat. No. R37606. We do offer the secondary antibodies separately, but not in the same proprietary concentration as provided in the kit. We also offer formaldehyde, DPBS, BSA, and saponin as separate catalog numbers, but not in the volumes or as formulated in the kit. The primary antibodies are not available as separate stock items; all non-stock items in the kit may be available as a custom order. Please contact your Account Representative.
