Product Overview
Clone ADC-15 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2 (gene OLIG2) in human, mouse and rat samples and is validated for Western blot, IHC and ICC/IF. The predicted molecular weight is 32.4 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 36 kDa.
OLIG2 is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor required to specify both motor neurons and oligodendrocytes from the pMN domain of the developing spinal cord. It is a standard marker of the oligodendrocyte lineage and is widely used in studies of gliogenesis, myelination and diffuse gliomas.

Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HEL cells, rat brain tissue, mouse brain tissue.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 10% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 1:500 overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:5000, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human mouse brain tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human olig2.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human, mouse and rat. UniProt places oligodendrocyte transcription factor 2 in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): Expressed in the brain, in oligodendrocytes. The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.
