General description

Human embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells are the stem cells of teratocarcinomas, and they are key components of germ cell tumors (GCTs). They express several high molecular weight glycoprotein antigens that are down-regulated upon differentiation. One of these antigens, defined by monoclonal antibody TRA-1-60, can be detected in the serum of GCT patients and provides a useful complement to the established serum markers human chorionic gonadotropin and α-fetoprotein, especially in those patients without elevated serum human chorionic gonadotropin or α-fetoprotein.

Quality

Evaluated by Immunocytochemistry in H9 human embryonic stem cells.

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:200 dilution of this antibody detected TRA-1-60 in H9 human embryonic stem cells.

Specificity

This antibody reacts with TRA-1-60 antigen expressed upon the surface of human EC, EG, and ES cells. No immunoreactivity is seen with murine EC, EG or ES cells. TRA-1-81 (MAB4381A4) and TRA-1-60 monoclonal antibodies recognize antigens that are associated with a pericellular matrix proteoglycan.

Storage and Stability

Stable for 1 year at 2-8°C from date of receipt.
