SSEA5 Antibody (MA1-144) in ICC/IF
Immunofluorescent analysis of SSEA-5 (green) on human NCCIT embryonal carcinoma cells and negative control mouse F9 teratocarcinoma cells. Formalin fixed cells were blocked with 1% Blocker BSA (Product # 37525) for 15 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with a SSEA-5 monoclonal antibody (Product # MA1-144) at a dilution of 1:50 for 1 hour at room temperature, washed with PBS, and incubated with a DyLight 488-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG secondary antibody (Product # 35502). Nuclei (blue) were stained with Hoechst 33342 dye (Pr... View More

Product Specific Information
Immunofluorescence and flow cytometric analysis of MA1-144 shows positive staining of SSEA-5 positive pluripotent cells within cultured human embryonal carcinoma NCCIT and NTERA-2 cells. Mouse teratocarcinoma cell line F9 was used as a negative control and showed no staining.
Target Information
Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-5 (SSEA-5) is an oligosaccharide that can be part of glycosphingolipids and glycoproteins. It contains the motif Fuc1-2Gal-beta1-3GlcNAc-beta, which is characteristic of H-1 antigens. SSEA-5 is found in the inner cell mass of the human blastocyst during embryogenesis, on undifferentiated human embryonic stem cells and on the surface of induced pluripotent cells. SSEA-5 was found to proceed the loss of other known stem cell markers and the combination of SSEA-5 with either CD9 and CD90 or CD50 and CD200 was superior in identifying and eliminating rare undifferentiated human ES cells from differentiated cell populations than the use of other established stem cell markers.
