ChIP was performed using the ChIP-IT® High Sensitivity Kit (Cat. No. 53040) with 30 ug of chromatin from undifferentiated hESC cells and 7 µl of antibody. ChIP DNA was sequenced on the Illumina HiSeq and 10 million sequence tags were mapped to identify Sox2 binding sites. The image shows binding across a region of chromosome 7. You can view the complete data set in the UCSC Genome Browser, starting at this specific location, here.

Mouse embryonic stem cells (mESCs) grown on mouse embryonic fibroblast feeder cells (MEFs) were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes at room temperature. Cells were then permeabilized and blocked by incubating with Blocking Solution containing 5% serum/0.1% Triton X-100 in D-PBS for 2 hours at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with Sox2 antibody (Catalog No. 39843, red) at 1:200 dilution overnight at 4°C, washed with D-PBS, and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature with goat anti-mouse Cy3 secondary antibody at 1:250 dilution. Cells were visualized using a Zeiss fluorescent microscope at 20X magnification. Images show that Sox2 antibody specifically stains mESC colonies and does not stain MEFs. Absence of Sox2 staining in a subset of cells within the colonies suggests differentiation. Scale bars, 100 μm.

Background

Sox2 (SRY related HMG BOX gene 2) is a DNA binding transcription factor and a member of the SOX family of proteins. SOX proteins have an HMG box that binds DNA. Sox2 forms a complex with Oct-4 and controls the expression of a number of genes involved in embryonic. Sox2 is critical for early embryogenesis and for embryonic stem cell pluripotency and thus can serve as a stem cell marker. Overexpression of Sox2 (along with Oct-4, KLF4 and c-Myc) can transform mouse fibroblasts into a state resembling embryonic stem cells (ES cells), referred to as Induced Pluripotency. Defects in Sox2 are the cause of microphthalmia syndromic type 3.

Positive Control

Active Motif's P19 Nuclear Extract (Catalog No. 35074) can be used as a positive control for Sox2 antibody.
