Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-5 (SSEA-5) is an oligosaccharide that contains the motif Fuc1-2Galβ1-3GlcNAcβ, which is characteristic of H-1 antigens. SSEA-5 is expressed on undifferentiated embryonic stem cells and pluripotent stem cells. It is developmentally regulated, and its expression is lost with cell differentiation.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by immunofluorescent staining with flow cytometric analysis. For flow cytometric staining, the suggested use of this reagent is 5 microL per million cells or 5 microL per 100 microL of whole blood. It is recommended that the reagent be titrated for optimal performance for each application.
