Antigen Preparation
A recombinant protein SSEA-3
Background
"Stage-specific embryonic antigen 3 (SSEA3) is a glycosphingolipid, a cell surface antigen. SSEA-3 molecule plays an important role in identifying many types of cells with pluropotent characteristics. Gb5 is also known as the SSEA-3 is a frequently used stem cell marker. SSEA-3 and β3GalT5 are cancer specific and significant markers for breast cancer stem cells. It was also shown that SSEA-3 and Globo H are markers for a subpopulation of CSCs in breast cancer patients. Human teratocarcinoma stem cells are SSEA3-positive. "
