Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP/ALPP) serves as a valuable marker in both reproductive biology and oncology research. This membrane-bound enzyme is normally expressed in syncytiotrophoblasts of the placenta, but its aberrant expression in various malignancies—particularly germ cell tumors and certain carcinomas—has established it as an important tumor-associated antigen. Researchers investigating trophoblast differentiation, placental development, or tumor marker expression will find PLAP detection essential for their work.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 5B9, offers the reproducibility that demanding research protocols require. Because the antibody sequence is defined and produced recombinantly in rabbit host cells, you can expect consistent performance across experiments and between lot numbers—eliminating the variability that can complicate long-term studies or multi-site collaborations. The affinity-purified rabbit IgG format ensures high specificity for your target.
Validation across multiple platforms demonstrates genuine experimental flexibility. Western blot analysis confirms detection of the expected 70 kDa band in both PC-3 and HeLa whole cell lysates at 1:1000 dilution, with observed molecular weight matching predicted size. For tissue-based studies, immunohistochemistry on paraffin-embedded human placenta sections shows clear staining at 1:50 dilution using standard citrate buffer antigen retrieval. Flow cytometry applications have been validated using HepG2 cells, enabling surface expression analysis with recommended dilutions of 1:50–1:200.
Whether you're characterizing placental tissue samples, screening tumor cell lines for ectopic PLAP expression, or developing diagnostic assays, this antibody provides a reliable tool for immunology and cell marker research applications.
