The monoclonal antibody O30-678 recognizes the Sox2 transcription factor. Sox2 [SRY (sex determining region Y)-box 2] is a member of the SRY-related HMG-box (SOX) family of transcription factors. Sox2 is required for the maintenance of the undifferentiated state of pluripotent stem cells. Complexes of Sox2 with the homeobox transcription factors Oct3/4 and/or Nanog bind to the promoters of a network of genes that are involved in the maintenance of pluripotency and self renewal in stem cells. Sox2 is also a marker of neural stem cells during embryonic development and in the adult brain. The O30-678 antibody recognizes both human and mouse Sox2 proteins.
Put all BD® AbSeq reagents to be pooled into a Latch Rack for 500 µL Tubes (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4900). Arrange the tubes so that they can be easily uncapped and re-capped with an 8-Channel Screw Cap Tube Capper (Thermo Fisher Scientific Cat. No. 4105MAT) and the reagents aliquoted with a multi-channel pipette. BD® AbSeq tubes should be centrifuged for = 30 seconds at 400 × g to ensure removal of any content in the cap/tube threads prior to the first opening. When using BD® AbSeq intracellular markers with the Single Cell 3' Sequencing Intracellular CITE-seq, cells must first be fixed and permeabilized using the BD Rhapsody™ Intracellular AbSeq Buffer Kit before the antibody-oligo can bind to the protein. Refer to the list of required companion products below and see BD Rhapsody™ System Single-Cell Labelling with BD® AbSeq Ab-Oligos for Intracellular CITE-seq (Doc ID: 23-24464) for the complete BD® AbSeq intracellular multiomics staining protocol. Contact your local Field Application Specialist (FAS) for additional guidance. Use standard laboratory safety protocols. Read and understand the safety data sheets (SDSs) before handling chemicals.

Handle as if capable of transmitting infection and dispose of with proper precautions in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations. Never pipette by mouth. Wear suitable protective clothing, eyewear, and gloves.
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography and conjugated to BD® AbSeq oligonucleotide under optimal conditions.
1. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
2. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended volume per test. Typical use is 2 µl for 1 × 10^6 cells in a 200-µl staining reaction.
3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
4. The production process underwent stringent testing and validation to assure that it generates a high-quality conjugate with consistent performance and specific binding activity. However, verification testing has not been performed on all conjugate lots.
5. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
6. Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.
