Placental Alkaline Phosphatase - Predilute - 6.0 ml

Product Description

Placental Alkaline Phosphatase (PLAP) reacts with a membrane-bound isozyme (Regan and Nagao type) of PLAP occurring in the placenta during the 3rd trimester of gestation. This antibody is highly specific to PLAP and shows no cross-reaction with other isozymes of alkaline phosphatases. It is useful in the identification of testicular germ cell tumours and in separating thymic neoplasms from germ cell tumours. Unlike germ cell tumours, PLAP-positive somatic cell tumours uniformly express epithelial membrane antigen (EMA). PLAP may also be a useful marker in distinguishing classical seminoma from spermatocytic seminoma.
