General description

SSEA-1 is expressed on the surface of early mouse embryos, murine embryonal carcinoma cells (EC), murine embryonic stem cells (ES) and murine & human germ cells (EG). No immunoreactivity is evident with undifferentiated human EC and ES cells. Expression of SSEA-1 is down regulated following differentiation of murine EC and ES cells. In contrast, the differentiation of human EC and ES cells is characterized by an increase in SSEA-1 expression.

Specificity

This antibody reacts with the Stage-specific embryonic antigen-1 (SSEA-1) that is expressed upon the surface of early mouse embryos, murine embryonal carcinoma cells (EC), murine embryonic stem cells (ES) and murine & human germ cells (EG).

Immunogen

F9 tetracarcinoma stem cells (X-irradiated).

Application

Anti-Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-1 Antibody, clone MC-480 detects level of Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-1 & has been published & validated for use in FC, IF, IH & IP.
Immunohistochemistry:
A previous lot of this antibody was tested on IH.

Immunoprecipitation:
A previous lot of this antibody was tested on IP.

Immunofluorescence:
A previous lot of this antibody was tested on IF. 4% PFA fixed, 5-10 minutes room temperature. No detergent is required as epitope is external.

Flow Cytometry:
A starting range of 10-20 µg/mL is suggested.

Positive mouse EC lines include:
F9, PCC4, ND-1, SCC1, NG2, LT/SV, MH-15, FA-25.
Lines : PYS-2, OTT6050f, B3T3SV. C57SV, K129SV. KCA, QAIB, BW5147 were negative.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.
