      BUV395 Mouse Anti-SSEA-4
      BUV395 Mouse Anti-SSEA-4
      Flow cytometric analysis of SSEA-4 expression on H9 cells. H9 human embryonic stem cells (WiCell, Madison, WI) p46 grown in mTESR™1 media (StemCell Technologies) were harvested with Accutase™ (Cat. No. 561527) and stained with either BD Horizon™ BUV395 Mouse Anti-SSEA-4 (Cat. No. 563817; solid line) or BD Horizon™ BUV395 mouse IgG3, k isotype control (Cat. No. 563814; dashed line). Flow cytometry was performed on a BD LSRFortessa™ Cell Analyzer 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 BUV395 under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free BD Horizon BUV395 were removed.

      Product Notices

      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.
      3. 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.
      4. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
      5. Species cross-reactivity detected in product development may not have been confirmed on every format and/or application.

      MC813-70

      The MC813-70 monoclonal antibody reacts with Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-4 (SSEA-4), a carbohydrate epitope on the major ganglioside, but not the neutral glycolipid, of human teratocarcinoma cells.  As its name implies, the expression of SSEA-4 is stage-specific and can be used to characterize embryonic cells and monitor their differentiation.  However, its expression pattern differs in the human and mouse.  In the human, SSEA-4 is found on teratocarcinoma (embryonal carcinoma or EC), embryonic inner cell mass (ICM), embryonic stem (ES) cells, and the K562 erythromyeloid leukeumia cell line.  As human stem cells undergo differentiation, SSEA-4 expression is lost.  In the mouse, SSEA-4 is found on oocytes and early cleavage-stage embryos, and primitive ectoderm, but not on EC, ICM, or ES cells.  In some cases, SSEA-4 expression appears upon differentiation of mouse EC or ES cells.

      The antibody was conjugated to BD Horizon™ BUV395 which has been exclusively developed by BD Biosciences as an optimal dye for use on a 355 nm laser equipped instrument. With an Ex Max at 348 nm  and an Em Max at 395 nm, this dye has virtually no spillover into any other detector. BD Horizon™ BUV395 can be excited with a 355 nm laser and detected with a 379/28 filter.

      BUV395
      The BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet 395 (BUV395) Dye is part of the BD Horizon Brilliant™ Ultraviolet family of dyes. This base dye is a polymer fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) of 348-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 395-nm. Driven by BD innovation, BUV395 is designed to be excited by the ultraviolet laser (355-nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 380-nm (e.g., 379/28-nm bandpass filter). BUV395 is the ideal dye when using only one detector on the ultraviolet laser as it spills into no other detectors and no other fluors spill into it. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
