SSEA-1 Antibody (MC-480): sc-101462

SSEA-1 Antibody (MC-480) is a mouse monoclonal IgM kappa light chain antibody that specifically recognizes the Stage-Specific Embryonic Antigen-1 (SSEA-1), also known as CD15 or Lewis X antigen. SSEA-1 is a carbohydrate antigen involved in cell adhesion and migration, playing a crucial role in embryonic development and differentiation processes. Located on the cell surface, SSEA-1 antigen mediates important cell-cell interactions that are essential for proper tissue formation. The structure of SSEA-1 as a carbohydrate moiety attached to glycoproteins or glycolipids is significant because it influences its binding properties and function in cellular signaling pathways. SSEA-1 (MC-480) monoclonal antibody was raised against X-irradiated F9 teratocarcinoma stem cells, with affinity for SSEA-1 of mouse, rat, and human origin. SSEA-1 monoclonal antibody (MC-480) is invaluable for researchers studying embryonic stem cells, as SSEA-1 (MC-480) antibody helps identify undifferentiated cells and monitor their differentiation status. By targeting SSEA-1, anti-SSEA-1 antibody (MC-480) aids in elucidating the mechanisms underlying stem cell maintenance and differentiation, which is important for developmental biology and regenerative medicine. SSEA-1 (MC-480) monoclonal antibody is compatible with various applications including western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), immunohistochemistry with paraffin-embedded sections (IHCP), and flow cytometry (FCM), providing versatility in experimental design.
