      BV421 Rat Anti-SSEA-3
      562706_IMAGE1.png

      Flow cytometric analysis of SSEA-3 expression of human embryonic stem (ES) cells.  H9 human ES cells (WiCell, Madison, WI) passage 41 grown in mTESR™1 media (StemCell Technologies) were harvested with Accutase™ (Cat. No. 561527) and stained with BD Horizon™ BV421 Rat Anti-SSEA-3 (solid line) or a BD Horizon™ BV421 rat IgM, κ isotype control (Clone R4-22, Cat. No.562708, dashed line). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD™ LSRII flow cytometry system.

      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 with BD Horizon BV421 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free BD Horizon BV421 were removed.

      1. This reagent has been pre-diluted for use at the recommended Volume per Test. We typically use 1 × 10^6 cells in a 100-µl experimental sample (a test).
      2. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.

      6. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
      7. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.

      MC-631

      The MC-631 monoclonal antibody reacts with Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-3 (SSEA-3), a carbohydrate epitope on the major ganglioside, but not the neutral glycolipid, of mouse embryos and human teratocarcinoma cells.  As its name implies, the expression of SSEA-3 is stage-specific and can be used to characterize embryonic cells and monitor their differentiation.  However, its expression pattern differs between human and mouse.  In the human, SSEA-3 is found on teratocarcinoma (embryonal carcinoma or EC), embryonic inner cell mass (ICM), embryonic stem (ES) cells, and erythrocytes.  As human stem cells undergo differentiation, SSEA-3 expression diminishes.  In the mouse, SSEA-3 is found on oocytes, ova, zygotes, early cleavage-stage embryos, early blastocysts, ICM, primitive endoderm, and adult kidneys, but not on EC or ES cells.

      The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BV421 which is part of the BD Horizon™ Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. With an Ex Max of 407-nm and Em Max at 421-nm, BD Horizon™ BV421 can be excited by the violet laser and detected in the standard Pacific Blue™ filter set (eg, 450/50-nm filter). BD Horizon™ BV421 conjugates are very bright, often exhibiting a 10 fold improvement in brightness compared to Pacific Blue™ conjugates.

      BV421
      The BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ 421 (BV421) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant Violet™ family of dyes. This polymer-technology based dye has an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 407-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 423-nm. Driven by BD innovation, BV421 is designed to be excited by the violet laser (405-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 420-nm (e.g., a 431/28-nm or 450/50-nm bandpass filter). BV421 is an ideal alternative for V450 as it is approximately ten times brighter with less spillover into the BV510/V500 detector. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
