V450 Mouse anti-Human TRA-1-60 Antigen
V450 Mouse anti-Human TRA-1-60 Antigen
Flow cytometric analysis of BD Horizon™ V450 Mouse Anti-Human TRA-1-60 on human embryonic stem cells.   H9 human embryonic stem (ES) cells (WiCell, Madison, WI) passage 49 grown on irradiated mouse embryonic fibroblasts were harvested. The H9 cells were stained with BD Horizon™ V450 Mouse Anti-Human TRA-1-60 (solid line), incubated in the dark for 20 minutes at room temperature, and analyzed by flow cytometry on a BD™ LSR II System. Dashed line represents cells alone.

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™ V450 under optimum conditions, and unreacted BD Horizon™ V450 was 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. BD Horizon V450 has a maximum absorption of 406 nm and maximum emission of 450 nm. Before staining with this reagent, please confirm that your flow cytometer is capable of exciting the fluorochrome and discriminating the resulting fluorescence.
  3. Pacific Blue™ is a trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.
  4. 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.

TRA-1-60

The TRA-1-60 monoclonal antibody reacts with the neuraminidase-resistant form of a pluripotent-stem-cell-specific epitope on a high-molecular-weight transmembrane glycoprotein.  The TRA-1-60 antigen is a sialylated epitope on the same keratan sulfate core molecule, podocalyxin, as 4 other distinct antigens on tumor-derived cell lines, TRA-1-81, GCTM2, K4, and K21.  The expression of TRA-1-60 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.  TRA-1-60 antigen is released into the serum of patients bearing  testicular tumors containing EC cells.  As human EC and ES cells undergo differentiation, expression of TRA-1-60 antigen is lost.  Expression of TRA-1-60 antigen has also been observed on a rhesus monkey ES cell line (Thomson et al, 1995).

This antibody is conjugated to BD Horizon™ V450, which has been developed for use in multicolor flow cytometry experiments and is available exclusively from BD Biosciences. It is excited by the Violet laser Ex max of 406 nm and has an Em Max at 450 nm. Conjugates with BD Horizon™ V450 can be used in place of Pacific Blue™ conjugates.

V450
BD Horizon™ V450 Dye is part of the BD Horizon™ violet family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 405-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 450-nm. BD Horizon™ V450, driven by BD innovation, is designed to be excited by the violet laser (405 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 450-nm (e.g., a 450/50-nm bandpass filter). The dye can be excited by the UV (355-nm) laser resulting in cross-laser excitation and spillover. Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
