Description

Mouse Monoclonal Antibody

The MC813-70 monoclonal antibody reacts with Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-4 (SSEA-4), a carbohydrate epitope on the major ganglioside, but not the neutral glycolipid, of human teratocarcinoma cells. As its name implies, the expression of SSEA-4 is stage-specific and can be used to characterize embryonic cells and monitor their differentiation. However, its expression pattern differs in the human and mouse. In the human, SSEA-4 is found on teratocarcinoma (embryonal carcinoma or EC), embryonic inner cell mass (ICM), embryonic stem (ES) cells, and the K562 erythromyeloid leukeumia cell line. As human stem cells undergo differentiation, SSEA-4 expression is lost. In the mouse, SSEA-4 is found on oocytes and early cleavage-stage embryos, and primitive ectoderm, but not on EC, ICM, or ES cells. In some cases, SSEA-4 expression appears upon differentiation of mouse EC or ES cells.

This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon BV605 which is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Violet family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max of 602-nm, BD Horizon BV605 can be excited by a violet laser and detected with a standard 610/20-nm filter set. BD Horizon BV605 is a tandem fluorochrome of BD Horizon BV421 and an acceptor dye with an Em max at 605-nm. Due to the excitation of the acceptor dye by the green (532 nm) and yellow-green (561 nm) lasers, there will be significant spillover into the PE and BD Horizon PE-CF594 detectors off the green or yellow-green lasers. BD Horizon BV605 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting brightness equivalent to PE conjugates and can be used as a third color off of the violet laser.

For optimal and reproducible results, BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer should be used anytime two or more BD Horizon Brilliant dyes are used in the same experiment. Fluorescent dye interactions may cause staining artifacts which may affect data interpretation. The BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer was designed to minimize these interactions. More information can be found in the Technical Data Sheet of the BD Horizon Brilliant Stain Buffer (Cat. No. 563794).
