Alkaline Phosphatase/ALPP Antibody (GM022) [Allophycocyanin/Cy7] Summary

• Immunogen: Recombinant human Alkaline Phosphatase/ALPP protein (Uniprot: P05187)
• Localization: Cytoplasmic and cell surface
• Marker: Germ Cell Tumor Marker
• Specificity: Reacts with a 70kDa membrane-bound isozyme (Regan and Nagao type) of Placental Alkaline Phosphatase (PLAP) occurring in the placenta during the 3rd trimester of gestation. It is highly specific for PLAP and shows no cross-reaction with other isozymes of alkaline phosphatase. Anti-PLAP reacts with germ cell tumors and can discriminate between these and other neoplasms. Somatic neoplasms e.g. breast, gastrointestinal, prostatic, and urinary cancers may also immunoreact with antibodies to PLAP. Anti-PLAP positivity in conjunction with anti-keratin negativity favors seminoma over carcinoma. Germ cell tumors are usually anti-keratin positive, but they regularly fail to stain with anti-EMA, whereas most carcinomas stain with anti-EMA. Anti-PLAP has been useful in the diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease.
• Isotype: IgG2b Kappa

Applications/Dilutions

• Application Notes: Optimal dilution of this antibody should be experimentally determined. For optimal results using our Tandem dyes, please avoid prolonged exposure to light or extreme temperature fluctuations. These can lead to irreversible degradation or decoupling. When staining intracellular targets, specific attention to the fixation and permeabilization steps in your flow protocol may be required. Please contact our technical support team at technical@novusbio.com if you have any questions.

Background

Alkaline phosphatases are phosphodiesterases. The placental-specific isozyme of Alkaline Phosphatase (PLAP) is found in trophoblast cells of normal human mature placenta, seminomas of testis and ovarian carcinomas. Detection of alkaline phosphatase in serum is a marker for ovarian and testicular cancer.

FAQs for Alkaline Phosphatase/ALPP Antibody (NBP2-47992APCCY7). (Showing 1 - 1 of 1 FAQ).

1. I am looking to use a placental alkaline phosphatase antibody for sorting syncytiotrophoblast material from female tissue. It looks like most people who use these antibodies use in-house versions and references for commercially available antibodies I've found are from the '80's. I noticed you have several different monoclonal antibodies and was hoping you could give me a little more information on them and potential applications they've been tested for. Also, do you have a biotinylated or fluorophore-conjugated version?
   • None of our placental alkaline phosphatase antibodies are biotinylated or fluorchrome conjugated but we offer a number of kits for this application and our lab can do a custom conjugation as well, for an additional fee. NB600-750 is useful in FACS with human cells, so I would recommend this antibody for your experiment. We back the use of this antibody as stated on the datasheet with the 100% Novus Guarantee. If you have questions about another antibody, I will be happy to answer them.
