Description

The eBioMC-813-70 monoclonal antibody reacts with a glycolipid carbohydrate epitope on Stage-specific embryonic antigen-4 (SSEA-4) protein. Expression is found on human teratocarcinoma stem cells (EC), human embryonic germ cells (EG) and human embryonic stem cells (ES) with a decrease in expression upon differentiation. Recently expression has also been found on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.

The eBioMC-813-70 antibody has been reported to crossreact to mouse, rabbit, canine, chicken, and Old and New World monkeys.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. This eBioMC-813-70 (MC-813-70) antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

This eBioMC-813-70 (MC-813-70) antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of the 2102Ep cell line. This can be used at less than or equal to 1 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
