- Description: Monoclonal antibody detects PLAP protein, used as a marker for various cancers, including ovarian and testicular. 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. 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. The detection of alkaline phosphatase in serum is a marker for ovarian and testicular cancer. The antibody detects both Regan and Nagao isoenzymes.
