Q U I C K S TA R T
Zoom in and out As you work on your poster zoom in and out to the level that is more comfortable to you. Go to VIEW > ZOOM.
Title, Authors, and Affiliations
Start designing your poster by adding the title, the names of the authors, and the affiliated institutions. You can type or paste text into the provided boxes. The template will automatically adjust the size of your text to fit the title box. You can manually override this feature and change the size of your text.
T I P : The font size of your title should be bigger than your name(s) and institution name(s).
Adding Logos / Seals
We have already inserted the CST logo in position. You can insert a logo for additional presenters institution by dragging and dropping it from your desktop, copy and paste or by going to INSERT > PICTURES. Logos taken from web sites are likely to be low quality when printed. Zoom it at 100% to see what the logo will look like on the final poster and make any necessary adjustments.
Photographs / Graphics
You can add images by dragging and dropping from your desktop, copy and paste, or by going to INSERT > PICTURES. Resize images proportionally by holding down the SHIFT key and dragging one of the corner handles. For a professional-looking poster, do not distort your images by enlarging them disproportionally.
Image Quality Check Zoom in and look at your images at 100% magnification. If they look good they will print well. If they do not look like they are a high enough quality, contact the marketing group for support. [email protected]

Q U I C K S TA RT ( c o n t . )
How to change the template theme This document has been constructed to keep the characteristics of the CST brand. Templates are available or can be custom prepared for additional dimensions, depending on the requirements of the conference you will be attending.
How to add Text The template comes with a number of pre-formatted placeholders for headers and text blocks. You can add more blocks by copying and pasting the existing ones or by adding a text box from the HOME menu.
Text size and Fonts
Adjust the size of your text based on how much content you have to present. The default template text offers a good starting point. Follow the conference requirements, and try to keep in mind that the posters text should remain comfortably legible from viewing distances of 6’ – 10’. The fonts chosen for this template reflect the fonts in our corporate brand and are also chosen for their legibility and universal availability. DO NOT use any other fonts without approvval from the Marketing Group.
How to add Tables
To add a table from scratch go to the INSERT menu and click on TABLE. A drop-down box will help you select rows and columns.
You can also copy and a paste a table from Word or another PowerPoint document. A pasted table may need to be re-formatted by RIGHT-CLICK > FORMAT SHAPE, TEXT BOX, Margins.
Graphs / Charts You can simply copy and paste charts and graphs from Excel or Word. Some reformatting may be required depending on how the original document has been created.
How to change the column configuration RIGHT-CLICK on the poster background and select LAYOUT to see the column options available for this template. The poster columns can also be customized on the Master. VIEW > MASTER.
How to remove the info bars
If you are working in PowerPoint for Windows and have finished your poster, save as PDF and the bars will not be included. You can also delete them by going to VIEW > MASTER. On the Mac adjust the Page-Setup to match the Page-Setup in PowerPoint before you create a PDF. You can also delete them from the Slide Master.
Save your work Save your template as a PowerPoint document. For printing, save as PowerPoint or “Print-quality” PDF.
Growth and regeneration of the mammalian intestinal epithelium is driven primarily by a discrete population of stem cells, known as LGR5+ crypt base columnar (CBC) cells, resident at the base of the intestinal crypt. Despite their fundamental importance for intestinal development and regeneration, there is a lack of validated reagents that can discretely identify LGR5+ CBC cells and their direct progeny. This is likely due to the low abundance and/or accessibility of the LGR5 epitope. To address this problem, Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. (CST) has developed highly specific rabbit antibodies targeting Olfactomedin-4 (OLFM4), a glycoprotein that exhibits distinct expression in LGR5+ CBC cells in both human and mouse. These antibodies are able to detect human OLFM4, and mouse Olfm4, respectively, by Western blot in cell and tissue lysates, and by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples. Antibody specificity was confirmed by validation on cell types and/or tissues in which the presence/absence or relative abundance of Olfactomedin-4 protein has been described in the published literature. These antibody reagents provide a means to visualize CBC cells with exquisite sensitivity and specificity without the need for transgenic models. This will allow for greater insights into the role and regulation of CBC cells during development, regeneration and oncogenic transformation of the intestinal epithelium.

Antibody Validation
OLFM4 (D1E4M) XP® Rabbit mAb #14369 is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody that detects human OLMF4 protein in western blot and immunohistochemistry with high specificity and sensitivity. Olfm4 (D6Y5A) XP® Rabbit mAb (Mouse Specific) #39141 is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody that detects mouse Olfm4 protein in western blot, immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry with exceptional specificity. These antibodies may be used to detect or visualize OLFM4-expressing cells, including intestinal stem/progenitor cells and neutrophils, in normal tissues, intestinal adenoma / carcinoma, and in organoids derived from normal or cancerous tissues [1, 2]. For stem cell research, these tools provide a means to identify intestinal stem/progenitor cells without the obligatory use of transgenic mice models [3].

Abstract #1374
Monoclonal Antibody Generation OLFM4 (D1E4M) XP® Rabbit mAb # 14369 and Olfm4 (D6Y5A) XP® Rabbit mAb (Mouse Specific) #39141 are recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies, generated at Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. using patented XMT® Technology. Western Blot Western blot analyses were performed using extracts from cell or tissue extracts, as described in the figure legends. Western blot protocol details can be found at http://www.cellsignal.com/common/content/content.jsp?id=western Immunohistochemistry Paraffin-embedded tissue sections were deparaffinized and rehydrated, then subjected to antigen retrieval in sodium citrate, pH 6.0. Primary antibodies were incubated overnight at 4°C. Detection was performed using SignalStain® Boost IHC Detection Reagent (HRP, Rabbit) #8114 and SignalStain® DAB Substrate Kit #8059. Immunofluorescence Perfusion-fixed mouse small intestine was cryopreserved in 30% sucrose and embedded in OCT medium. 12 uM sections rinsed in PBS prior to blocking and permeabilization with 5% goat serum/PBS containing 0.3% Triton X-100 (PBST). Primary antibodies were diluted in PSBT containing 1% BSA and incubated overnight at 4°C. Detection was performed with Anti-rabbit IgG (H+L), F(ab')2 Fragment (Alexa Fluor® 488 Conjugate) #4412 for 1 hour at 25C, and sections were counterstained with DyLight™ 554 Phalloidin #13054 and DRAQ5® #4084.
