Monoclonal antibody with potential use in detection of ovarian and testicular tumours via detection of PLAP. Background and Research Application Human placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) is a membrane bound glycosylated phosphodiesterase normally synthesised by syncytiotrophoblast from the 12th week of pregnancy. Since its identification as an oncofoetal antigen, it has been found to be expressed by malignant tumours of germ cell and non-germ cell origin. The detection of alkaline phosphatase in serum is a marker for ovarian and testicular cancer. HD 11F7 has potential uses in the diagnosis of ovarian and testicular tumours. This antibody detects both Regan and Nagao isoenzymes. The placental-specific isozyme of Alkaline Phosphatase (PLAP), also referred to as the heat-stable form, is found in trophoblast cells of normal human mature placenta, seminomas of testis and ovarian carcinomas. It is closely related to the intestinal form of the enzyme as well as to the placental-like form. Anti-PLAP was created for use in immunoscintigraphy or therapy. |

| Notes |
Production Details Purified using multi-step affinity chromatography with protein A. Storage Conditions Store at -20 degrees frozen. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. Points of Interest This antibody also showed faster binding in vivo, in radioimmunolocalisation studies in Hep-2 xenograft bearing nude mice, compared to other antibodies produced in the same experiment. PLAP is reliable only in non-smokers, as smoking interferes with measurement of PLAP, since serum concentrations of PLAP are increased up to 10-fold in smokers. Concentration 1mg/ml as standard |
