Mouse monoclonal antibody suitable for immunohistochemistry.
Functional Aspects:
Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) is only found in normal
term placenta, endocervix, and oviduct and in ovarian and
proximal intestinal tumors. A PLAP-like variant is seen mostly
in fetal testis and thymus and some defined tumors. Clone
8A9 stains seminomas and placenta indicating a specificity for
both PLAP and PLAP-like enzyme. Clone SP15 reacts with a
membrane-bound isoenzyme of PLAP occurring in the placenta
during the 3rd trimester of gestation.
