Flow cytometric analysis of FITC Mouse Anti-Human TRA-1-81 on H9 cells. H9 human embryonic stem (ES) cells were stained with either FITC Mouse Anti-Human TRA-1-81 (solid line) or FITC mouse IgM (G155-228) isotype control (catalog number 553474, dashed line), incubated in the dark for 20 minutes at room temperature and analyzed by flow cytometry. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD FACSCalibur™ System.

Preparation And Storage
Product Notices
- 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).
- 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.
- Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
- For fluorochrome spectra and suitable instrument settings, please refer to our Multicolor Flow Cytometry web page at www.bdbiosciences.com/colors.

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.
