BD Pharmingen™ Purified Mouse anti-SSEA-1
Clone MC480 (RUO)
Western Blot analysis of SSEA-1 in mouse ES cell line. Lysate from ES-E14TG2a cells (ATCC CRL-1821) was probed with Purified Mouse anti-SSEA-1 monoclonal antibody (Cat. No. 560079) at titrations of 1.0 (lane 1), 0.5 (lane 2), and 0.25 µg/ml (lane 3), followed by HRP Goat Anti-Mouse Ig (Cat. No. 554002). High-molecular-weight molecules bearing the SSEA-1 epitope are identified above 200 kDa.
Immunofluorescent staining of mouse ES cell line. ES-E14TG2a cells were cultured, fixed, and stained with Purified Mouse anti-SSEA-1 monoclonal antibody (pseudo-colored green) according to the Recommended Assay Procedure. The second-step reagent was Alexa Fluor® 647 goat anti-mouse Ig (Invitrogen) and counter-staining was with Hoechst 33342 (pseudo-colored blue). The images were captured on a BD Pathway™ 435 Cell Analyzer using a 20X objective and merged using BD Attovision™ software.

Recommended Assay Procedures
Bioimaging
1. Seed the cells in appropriate culture medium at an appropriate cell density in a 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 to each well and incubating for 1 hour at RT.
5. Remove the diluted antibody, and wash the wells three times with 100 μl of 1× PBS.
6. Remove the PBS, dilute the second-step reagent in 1× PBS, and stain the cells by adding 50 µl of the diluted second-step reagent to each well and incubating for 1 hour at RT.
7. Remove the diluted second-step reagent, and wash the wells twice with 100 μl of 1× PBS.
8. 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.
9. View and analyze the cells on an appropriate imaging instrument.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- 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.
- Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.
- This antibody has been developed and certified for the bioimaging application. However, a routine bioimaging test is not performed on every lot. Researchers are encouraged to titrate the reagent for optimal performance.
- Please refer to http://regdocs.bd.com to access safety data sheets (SDS).
- Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.

Antibody Details
MC480
The MC480 monoclonal antibody reacts with Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-1 (SSEA-1), which is a terminal carbohydrate epitope (3-fucosyl-N-acetyllactosamine or 3-FAL) on glycoproteins and lactose-series glycolipids. SSEA-1 is related to Lewis blood group antigens and is found in a variety of embryonic as well as adult tissues and cancers. As its name implies, the expression of SSEA-1 is stage-specific and can be used to characterize embryonic cells and monitor their differentiation. However, its expression pattern differs between human and mice. In the human, SSEA-1 is not found on embryonic stem (ES) cells, embryonic inner cell mass (ICM), or teratocarcinoma (embryonal carcinoma or EC) cells. As human EC and ES cells undergo differentiation, SSEA-1 expression is upregulated. In the adult, the same epitope is expressed as CD15 on granulocytes and monocytes, but not lymphocytes or dendritic cells. In the mouse, SSEA-1 is found on EC, ES, primordial germ cells, 8-cell to blastocyst embryos, ICM, and subpopulations of cells in the adult central nervous system, including stem cells. In contrast to human SSEA-1 expression, it is reduced when mouse EC and ES cells undergo differentiation.

Format Details
Purified
Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
