Stage Specific Embryonic Antigen 4 (SSEA4) (PE)

Recognizes Stage-specific embryonic antigen 4 (SSEA4) that is expressed upon the surface of human tetracarcinoma stem cells (EC), human embryonic germ cells (EG) and human embryonic stem cells (ES). No immunoreactivity is evident with undifferentiated murine EC, ES and EG cells. The differentiation of murine EC. and ES cells may be accompanied by an increase in SSEA-4. Species Crossreactivity: mouse.
