Background of ALPP
Alkaline phosphatase, placental type also known as placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) is an allosteric enzyme that in humans is encoded by the ALPP gene. The protein encoded by this gene is an alkaline phosphatase, a metalloenzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phosphoric acid monoesters. It belongs to a multigene family composed of four alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes. The enzyme functions as a homodimer and has a catalytic site containing one magnesium and two zinc ions, which are required for its enzymatic function. The protein is primarily expressed in placental and endometrial tissue; however, strong ectopic expression has been detected in ovarian adenocarcinoma, serous cystadenocarcinoma, and other ovarian cancer cells.
Antibody Validation
Boster validates all antibodies on WB, IHC, ICC, Immunofluorescence, and ELISA with known positive control and negative samples to ensure specificity and high affinity, including thorough antibody incubations.

Western blot analysis of ALPP using anti-ALPP antibody (A01718).
Electrophoresis was performed on a 5-20% SDS-PAGE gel at 70V (Stacking gel) / 90V (Resolving gel) for 2-3 hours. The sample well of each lane was loaded with 30 ug of sample under reducing conditions.
Lane 1: human placenta tissue lysates,
Lane 2: human placenta tissue lysates.
After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane at 150 mA for 50-90 minutes. Blocked the membrane with 5% non-fat milk/TBS for 1.5 hour at RT. The membrane was incubated with rabbit anti-ALPP antigen affinity purified polyclonal antibody (Catalog # A01718) at 0.5 μg/mL overnight at 4°C, then washed with TBS-0.1%Tween 3 times with 5 minutes each and probed with a goat anti-rabbit IgG-HRP secondary antibody at a dilution of 1:5000 for 1.5 hour at RT. The signal is developed using an Enhanced Chemiluminescent detection (ECL) kit (Catalog # EK1002) with Tanon 5200 system. A specific band was detected for ALPP at approximately 70 kDa. The expected band size for ALPP is at 58 kDa.

IF analysis of ALPP using anti-ALPP antibody (A01718).
ALPP was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human placenta tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 5 μg/mL rabbit anti-ALPP Antibody (A01718) overnight at 4°C. Cy3 Conjugated Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (BA1032) was used as secondary antibody at 1:500 dilution and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The section was counterstained with DAPI. Visualize using a fluorescence microscope and filter sets appropriate for the label used.

Flow Cytometry analysis of SiHa cells using anti-ALPP antibody (A01718).
Overlay histogram showing SiHa cells stained with A01718 (Blue line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde and blocked with 10% normal goat serum. And then incubated with rabbit anti-ALPP Antibody (A01718, 1μg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 20°C. DyLight®488 conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (BA1127, 5-10μg/1x106 cells) was used as secondary antibody for 30 minutes at 20°C. Isotype control antibody (Green line) was rabbit IgG (1μg/1x106) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody (Red line) was used as a blank control.

IHC analysis of ALPP using anti-ALPP antibody (A01718).
ALPP was detected in a paraffin-embedded section of human placenta tissue. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH 8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was then incubated with 2 μg/ml rabbit anti-ALPP Antibody (A01718) overnight at 4°C. Peroxidase Conjugated Goat Anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. The tissue section was developed using HRP Conjugated Rabbit IgG Super Vision Assay Kit (Catalog # SV0002) with DAB as the chromogen.

4 Customer Q&As for Anti-Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP)/ALPP Antibody Picoband®
Question
My colleagues were happy with the WB result of your anti-Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP)/ALPP antibody. However we have been able to see positive staining in placenta cell membrane using this antibody. Is that expected? Could you tell me where is ALPP supposed to be expressed?

Answer
According to literature, placenta does express ALPP. Generally ALPP expresses in cell membrane. Regarding which tissues have ALPP expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Cervix carcinoma, Pubmed ID: 18669648
Cervix, and Placenta, Pubmed ID: 15489334

Question
We are currently using anti-Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP)/ALPP antibody A01718 for human tissue, and we are happy with the IHC results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human. Is it likely that the antibody can work on primate tissues as well?

Answer
The anti-Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP)/ALPP antibody (A01718) has not been tested for cross reactivity specifically with primate tissues, though there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in primate you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Question
We bought anti-Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP)/ALPP antibody for IHC on cervix carcinoma a few months ago. I am using human, and We are going to use the antibody for WB next. We need examining cervix carcinoma as well as placenta in our next experiment. Could you please give me some suggestion on which antibody would work the best for WB?
