Anti-Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-4 Antibody, clone MC-813-70

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.

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 contrast, the differentiation of murine EC and ES cells may be accompanied by an increase in SSEA-4 expression.
