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.

This antibody reacts with TRA-1-60 antigen 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 seen with murine EC, EG, or ES cells. Both the TRA-1-60 and TRA-1-81 monoclonal antibodies (MAB4381) recognize antigens that are associated with a pericellular matrix proteoglycan. TRA-1-60 reacts with a sialidase-sensitive epitope whilst TRA-1-81 reacts with an unknown epitope of the same molecule
