BD Pharmingen™ Alexa Fluor® 555 Mouse anti-Human TRA-1-81 Antigen
Clone TRA-1-81 (RUO)
Immunofluorescent staining of human ES cell line. The H9 cell line (WiCell, Madison, WI) was cultured, fixed, and stained with Alexa Fluor® 555 Mouse anti-Human TRA-1-81 Antigen monoclonal antibody (pseudo-colored green) according to the Recommended Assay Procedure. The left image shows the plasma membrane staining by the TRA-1-81 mAb, and the right image shows TRA-1-81 with counter-staining of the nuclei by Hoechst 33342 (pseudo-colored blue). The images were captured on a BD Pathway™ 435 Cell Analyzer using a 10X objective and merged using BD Attovision™ software.

Preparation And Storage
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze. The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography. The antibody was conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 555 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 555 was removed.
Recommended Assay Procedures
Recommended Assay Procedure:
1. Seed the cells in appropriate culture medium at an appropriate cell density in a BD Falcon™ 96-well Imaging Plate (Cat. No. 353219), and
culture overnight to 48 hours.
2. Remove the culture medium from the wells, wash the wells twice with 100 μl of 1× PBS, and fix the cells by adding 100 µl of fresh 3.7% Formaldehyde in PBS or BD Cytofix™ fixation buffer (Cat. No. 554655) to each well and incubating for 10 minutes at room temperature (RT).
3. Remove the fixative from the wells, and wash the wells twice with 100 μl of 1× PBS.
4. Dilute the antibody in 1× PBS, and stain the cells by adding 50 µl of the diluted antibody conjugate to each well and incubating for 1 hour at RT.
5. Remove the diluted antibody, and wash the wells twice with 100 μl of 1× PBS.
6. Remove the PBS, and counter-stain the nuclei by adding 100 μl of a 2 μg/ml solution of Hoechst 33342 (eg, Sigma-Aldrich Cat. No. B2261) in 1× PBS to each well at least 15 minutes before imaging.
7. View and analyze the cells on an appropriate imaging instrument.

Antibody Details
TRA-1-81
The TRA-1-81 monoclonal antibody reacts with a pluripotent stem cell-specific epitope on a high molecular weight transmembrane glycoprotein. The TRA-1-81 antigen is an epitope on the same keratan sulfate core molecule, podocalyxin, as 4 other distinct antigens on tumor-derived cell lines, TRA-1-60, GCTM2, K4, and K21. The expression of TRA-1-81 antigen is stage-specific and can be used to characterize embryonic cells and monitor their differentiation. The antigen is found on teratocarcinoma (embryonal carcinoma or EC), embryonic inner cell mass (but not morula or trophoblast), and embryonic stem (ES) cells. As human EC and ES cells undergo differentiation, expression of TRA-1-81 antigen is lost.
This antibody is routinely tested by immunofluorescent imaging. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.
