Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse SSEA-3 Antibody

SSEA-3 antibody in BG01V Human Stem Cells by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

SSEA‑3 in BG01V Human Stem Cells.

SSEA-3 was detected in immersion fixed non-permeabilized BG01V human embryonic stem cells using Human/Mouse SSEA-3 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB1434) at 10 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Rat IgG Secondary Antibody (yellow; Catalog # NL013) and counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Detection of Canine SSEA-3 by Flow Cytometry

Detection of Canine SSEA-3 by Flow Cytometry

Flow cytometry. Comparison of cell surface proteins CD29, CD44, CD90, CD34, CD45, SSEA-1, SSEA-3, SSEA-4, TRA-1-60, and TRA-1-81 on primary cultures of BM-MSCs (A, C) and AT-MSCs (B, D). Solid histograms show nonspecific staining and open histograms show specific staining for the indicated marker. Three different donor MSC populations from each tissue type were analyzed and representative samples are shown. Image collected and cropped by CiteAb from the following publication (https://bmcvetres.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1746-6148-8-150), licensed under a CC-BY license. Not internally tested by R&D Systems.

Background: SSEA-3

SSEA-3, also known as glycolipid GB5, is expressed on the surface of human teratocarcinoma stem cells (EC), human embryonic germ cells (EG), and human embryonic stem cells (ES) (1). Expression of SSEA-3 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-3 expression (2, 3).
