Stem cells are crucial ingredients in the progressive restriction of cellular developmental capacity during mammalian embryogenesis. Until recently, only embryonic stem cells (ESC) had been shown to exhibit the potential to differentiate into cells of the all three germ layers. However, adult stem cells (ASC) can regain pluripotency (potential to differentiate into various lineages) if transferred from one stem-cell microenvironment into another. The transcription factor OCT4, expressed in ESCs and germ cells, is strongly implicated in the process of maintaining as well as regaining stem-cell pluripotency and functions as a key regulator of mammalian germline development.

HEK293T cells were transfected with the pCMV6-ENTRY control or pCMV6-ENTRY POU5F1 (RC211998) cDNA for 48 hrs and lysed. Equivalent amounts of cell lysates (5 ug per lane) were separated by SDS-PAGE and immunoblotted with anti-POU5F1.
