Why Use Molecular Markers to Verify Human Stem Cell Pluripotency?
Stem cell pluripotency can be characterized functionally by their ability to differentiate into cells of the three vertebrate germ layers. However, functional verification is time-consuming, expensive, and is less conducive to routine stem cell culture screening or high throughput analysis of stem cell pluripotency.
In addition to the ability to give rise to all cell types, a number of molecular markers have been identified to characterize the pluripotent status of stem cells. For example, human pluripotent stem cells express the cell surface proteins SSEA-4 and Alkaline Phosphatase and the transcription factors Oct-3/4 and Nanog.
Analyzing human stem pluripotency using marker antibodies:
- Promotes the identification and expansion of high quality, undifferentiated stem cell populations.
- Provides increased confidence in pluripotent status through the use of multiple markers.
- Defines the starting stem cell population to reduce experimental variation.
- Is a straightforward, cost-effective way to verify stem cell pluripotency.
This kit contains the following antibodies to verify human stem cell pluripotency:

Expression of Pluripotency Markers in Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells. iPS2 human induced pluripotent stem cells were cultured on Irradiated Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts (iMEFs; Catalog PSC001) and labeled with antibodies from the Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Marker Antibody Panel Plus (Catalog # SC009). Pluripotency marker expression was analyzed by dual immunofluorescence with the indicated primary antibodies supplied in the panel. The cells were stained using NorthernLights™ (NL)486- and NL557-conjugated Secondary Antibodies (green and red, respectively). Where indicated, the nuclei were counterstained with DAPI (blue).

Detection of SSEA-4 in Human Embryonic Stem Cells. Human embryonic stem cells were stained with the SSEA-4 Monoclonal Antibody provided in the Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Marker Panel Plus (Catalog # SC009; filled histogram) or a Mouse IgG3Isotype Control Antibody (Catalog # MAB007; open histogram). The cells were stained using a PE-conjugated Goat Anti-Mouse Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0102B).
Assay Procedure

What is the difference between the Human Embryonic Stem Cell Marker Antibody Panel (Catalog # SC008) and the Human Embryonic Stem Cell Marker Antibody Panel Plus (Catalog #SC009)?
Catalog # SC008 was developed with a panel of antibodies that were significant stem cell markers at the time of release. As research on embryonic stem cells progressed, the number of markers of interest increased. Catalog # SC009 was later introduced to include antibodies for newly discovered markers, in addition to the antibodies from the original panel.
