Recombinant protein encoding human Placental Alkaline Phosphatase (PLAP).
Key Feature
Clonality
Monoclonal
Isotype
IgG
Clone Number
SP15
Host Species
Rabbit
Tested Applications
IHCIHC-P
We suggest an incubation period of 30 minutes at room temperature. However, depending upon the fixation conditions and the staining system employed, optimal incubation should be determined by the user. Formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue sections require high temperature antigen unmasking with 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0 prior to immunostaining.
Species Reactivity
Human
Concentration
1mg/ml
Target Information
Target
PLAP
Tissue Specificity
This antibody reacts with a membrane-bound isoenzyme (Regan and Nagao type) of Placental Alkaline Phosphatase (PLAP) occurring in the placenta during the 3rd trimester of gestation. This antibody is highly specific to PLAP and shows no cross-reaction with other isoenzymes of alkaline phosphatases. It is useful in the identification of testicular germ cell tumors. Unlike germ cell tumors, PLAP-positive somatic cell tumors uniformly express epithelial membrane antigen (EMA).This antibody crossreacts with Human, Mouse and Rat.
