OLIG2 antibody (AA 1-141)

Catalog No. ABIN6939031

Product Details anti-OLIG2 Antibody

Target: OLIG2 (Oligodendrocyte Lineage Transcription Factor 2 (OLIG2))

Binding Specificity: AA 1-141

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This OLIG2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Sections) (IHC (f))

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).
