Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-Human TRA-1-81
Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-Human TRA-1-81
Flow cytometric analysis of TRA-1-81 on human embryonic stem cells. H9 stem cells were stained with either Alexa Fluor® 647 mouse IgM, k Isotype Control (Cat. No. 560806; dashed line histogram), or Alexa Fluor® 647 Mouse anti-Human TRA-1-81 (Cat. No 560793; solid line histogram). Fluorescence histograms were derived from gated events based on the forward and side light scattering characteristics for viable H9 cells. Flow cytometry was performed on a BD LSRII™.

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 to Alexa Fluor® 647 under optimum conditions, and unreacted Alexa Fluor® 647 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. An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
  3. Source of all serum proteins is from USDA inspected abattoirs located in the United States.
  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.
  5. The Alexa Fluor®, Pacific Blue™, and Cascade Blue® dye antibody conjugates in this product are sold under license from Molecular Probes, Inc. for research use only, excluding use in combination with microarrays, or as analyte specific reagents. The Alexa Fluor® dyes (except for Alexa Fluor® 430), Pacific Blue™ dye, and Cascade Blue® dye are covered by pending and issued patents.
  6. Alexa Fluor® 647 fluorochrome emission is collected at the same instrument settings as for allophycocyanin (APC).
  7. Alexa Fluor® is a registered trademark of Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR.

TRA-1-81

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.

Alexa Fluor™ 647
Alexa Fluor™ 647 Dye is part of the BD red family of dyes. This is a small organic fluorochrome with an excitation maximum (Ex Max) at 653-nm and an emission maximum (Em Max) at 669-nm. Alexa Fluor 647 is designed to be excited by the Red laser (627-640 nm) and detected using an optical filter centered near 520-nm (e.g., a 660/20 nm bandpass filter). Please ensure that your instrument’s configurations (lasers and optical filters) are appropriate for this dye.
