TPBG, also known as 5T4 oncofetal antigen, is a leucine-rich repeat glycoprotein that plays a significant role in developmental biology and cancer research. Originally identified on trophoblast cells during placental development, TPBG expression becomes notably upregulated in various carcinomas while remaining largely restricted in healthy adult tissues. This expression pattern, combined with its involvement in Wnt signaling modulation through its function as Wnt-activated inhibitory factor 1, has established TPBG as an attractive target for cancer immunotherapy studies and tumor biology investigations.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 1D4, offers researchers the consistency and reliability that comes with sequence-defined production. Unlike traditional hybridoma-derived antibodies, recombinant technology ensures that each lot performs identically to the last, eliminating the variability that can compromise longitudinal studies or multi-site collaborations. The rabbit host origin provides high affinity binding characteristics, while the monoclonal nature guarantees specificity for a single epitope on the human TPBG protein.
Validation in immunohistochemistry demonstrates reliable performance in paraffin-embedded human placenta tissue, a physiologically relevant sample type given TPBG's established expression in trophoblast cells. Using heat-mediated antigen retrieval in citrate buffer and dilutions between 1:50 and 1:200, researchers can expect clear visualization of TPBG-positive cells with standard polymer detection systems. The antibody is also validated for ELISA applications, providing flexibility across different experimental workflows.
This antibody serves researchers investigating cancer biology, stem cell characteristics, immunological targeting strategies, and developmental processes where understanding TPBG expression and function is essential to advancing their work.
