Anti-TRA-2-49 Antibody, Liver/Bone/Kidney Alkaline Phosphatase, clone TRA-2-49/6E

Description

• General description: In humans, four isoforms of alkaline phosphatase exist: intestinal, placental, placenta-like (germ cell type) and tissue-nonspecific. The tissue-nonspecific isoform of alkaline phosphatase is present in bone, liver and kidney; it differs from the other forms by posttranslational modification. Undifferentiated human Embryonal Carcinoma (EC) and Embryonic Stem (ES) cells have been shown to express very high levels of Alkaline Phosphatase isozyme that is indistinguishable from the isozyme found in liver, bone and kidney. Expression levels of AP decrease following stem cell differentiation. This clone can be used to monitor the expression of the Human Liver / Bone / Kidney isozyme of Alkaline Phosphatase (AP), and hence the differentiation status of human EC and ES cells by flow cytometry.
• Specificity: Reactivity has been demonstrated with Liver/ Bone/Kidney isozyme of Alkaline Phosphatase (AP) from Humans, Higher Primates (Chimpanzee, Gorilla, Orangutan and Gibbon), New World Monkeys (Owl Monkey, Squirrel Monkey), Cat, Pig, Rabbit and Tiger. No reactivity has been observed with Old World Monkeys (Baboon, Rhesus monkey, Mangabey, Mandrill, Celebese Black Ape, African Green Monkey), Bovine, Canine, Goat, Guinea Pig, Hamster, Mouse, Rat and Sheep. This antibody does not cross react with other isozymes of AP.
