POU domain, class 4, transcription factor 1 (POU4F1) also known as brain-specific homeobox/POU domain protein 3A (BRN3A), homeobox/POU domain protein RDC-1 or Oct-T1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the POU4F1 gene. BRN3A (POU4F1) is a class IV POU domain-containing transcription factor highly expressed in the developing peripheral sensory nervous system (dorsal root ganglia, trigeminal ganglion, and hindbrain sensory ganglia), certain regions of the central nervous system, retinal neurons called ganglion cells, and in cells of the B- and T-lymphocytic lineages.

mIHC analysis of mouse retina tissue (Frozen section) with BRN3A (HA723361, 1/500) and βIII tubulin (HA723738, 1/5,000).
The immunostaining was performed with the IRISKitCmTSA Kit (900802). Blocking with 10% normal goat serum + 1% Triton X-100 + 0.3 M Glycine in TBST, 30 minutes at room temperature. DAPI (blue) was used as a nuclear counter stain. Image acquisition was performed with Olympus VS200 Slide Scanner.
Wash buffer: 1× TBST Blocking: 10% normal goat serum + 1% Triton X-100 + 0.3 M Glycine in TBST, 30 minutes at room temperature.
Primary antibody: HA723361, 1/500, overnight at 4℃. Secondary antibody: Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (iFluor™ 488, HA1121), 1.5 hours at room temperature.
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded E14.5 mouse embryonic eye tissue with Rabbit anti-BRN3A antibody (HA723361) at 1/50 dilution.
The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) (high pressure) for 2 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 1% BSA for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (HA723361) at 1/50 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
