NTera-2 human testicular embryonic carcinoma cell line was stained with Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse SSEA-4 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1435, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # MAB007, open histogram), followed by Phycoerythrin-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0102B).
SSEA‑4 antibody in BG01V Human Stem Cells by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

SSEA‑4 in BG01V Human Stem Cells.

SSEA-4 was detected in immersion fixed BG01V human embryonic stem cells cultured on irradiated mouse embryonic fibroblasts (Catalog # PSC001) using 10 µg/mL Mouse Anti-Human/Mouse SSEA-4 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1435) for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained with the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Background: SSEA-4

SSEA-4 is expressed on the surface of human embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells (the pluripotent stem cells of teratocarcinomas), human embryonic germ cells (EG), and human embryonic stem cells (ES). Expression of SSEA-4 is down-regulated following differentiation of human EC cells. In contrast, the differentiation of murine EC and ES cells may be accompanied by an increase in SSEA-4 expression (1-4).
