Milli-Mark Anti-SSEA-4-PE Antibody, clone MC-813-70

General description

N-terminal GST-tagged, recombinant human MuRF1 full length, expressed in E.coli. Purified using glutathione sepharose.

The cell-surface markers used routinely to identify undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) were initially characterized as markers for mESCs, mouse embryonic carcinomas (ECs), or human EC cells. Stage-specific embryonic antigen-3 (SSEA-3) and SSEA-4 are widely used as cell-surface markers to define both human and mouse ESCs. SSEA-3 and SSEA-4 are expressed on undifferentiated hESCs but not on undifferentiated mESCs.

Specificity

This antibody reacts with the stage-specific embryonic antigen-4 (SSEA-4) that is expressed upon the surface of human tetracarcinoma stem cells (EC), human embryonic germ cells (EG) and human embryonic stem cells (ES).
No immunoreactivity is evident with undifferentiated murine EC, ES and EG cells. Expression of SSEA-4 is down regulated following differentiation of human EC cells. In ctontrast, the differentiation of murine EC and ES cells may be accompanied by an increase in SSEA-4 expression.

Immunogen

Human embryonal carcinoma cell line 2102Ep.

Application

Immunocytochemical staining of live H9 human ES cells incubated for 30 minutes at 37oC with 1:50 dilution of anti-SSEA-4, clone MC-813-70, PE conjugate (Cat. No. FCMAB116P) monoclonal antibody.
Pluripotent human ES cells exhibit strong immunoreactivity to this antibody.
Immunocytochemical staining of fixed H9 human ES cells incubated for 2 hours at 2-8oC with 1:50 dilution of anti-SSEA-4, clone MC-813-70, PE conjugated (Cat. No. FCMAB116P) monoclonal antibody.
Pluripotent human ES cells exhibit strong immunoreactivity to this antibody.
