Rat monoclonal IgG2a antibody against mouse Sca1 (Ly-6A/E), PE-conjugated.

• Hematopoietic stem
• Progenitor cells
• Mammary cells

The E13-161.7 antibody reacts with Sca1 (Stem cell Antigen-1 or Ly-6A/E), an 18 kDa GPI-linked protein belonging to the lymphocyte activation protein-6 (Ly-6) family. Sca1 is expressed on the surface of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, myeloid cells, and peripheral B and T lymphocytes. Sca1 is expressed by mice with either the Ly-6.1 or Ly-6.2 allotypes but the pattern of expression differs in the circulating cell population according to the allotype. Ly-6.2 strains (e.g., AKR, C57BL, C57BR, C57L, DBA/2, PL, SJL, SWR, 129) possess relatively high numbers of Sca1+ resting lymphocytes compared to Ly-6.1 strains (e.g. A, BALB/c, CBA, C3H/He, DBA/1, NZB). Sca1 expression levels are strongly upregulated in all strains upon cellular activation. Sca1 is involved in the regulation of T and B cell responses and is believed to play roles in the differentiation, proliferation, and survival of a variety of stem cells. Sca1 has emerged as a phenotypic marker of choice for identifying and isolating hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. This antibody clone has been verified for purity assessments of cells isolated with EasySep™ kits, including EasySep™ mouse SCA1 Biotin positive selection kit (Catalog #18856).
