- Clone: HD 8B6
- Tool type: Antibodies
- Tool sub-type: Primary antibody
- Class: Monoclonal
- Conjugate: Unconjugated
- Reactivity: Human
- Host: Mouse
- Application: IF ; ELISA ; IHC ; RIA

- Description: HD 8B6 has potential uses in the diagnosis of ovarian and testicular tumours. The antibody detects both Regan and Nagao isoenzymes.
- Immunogen: Fresh Hep-2 cells followed by booster injections of fresh Hep-2 cells that have had their surface expression of PLAP boosted in culture.
- Isotype: IgG2a
- Research area: Cancer; Cell biology
- Myeloma used: P3/NS1/1-Ag4.1
- For Research Use Only
Target Details
- Target: Placental Alkaline Phosphatase (PLAP), Regan and Nagao isoenzymes.
- Target background: Alkaline phosphatases are phosphodiesterases. The placental-specific isozyme of Alkaline Phosphatase (PLAP) is found in trophoblast cells of normal human mature placenta, seminomas of testis and ovarian carcinomas. The detection of alkaline phosphatase in serum is a marker for ovarian and testicular cancer.
Application Details
