General description

Anti-PLAP immunoreacts with germ cell tumors and can discriminate between these and other neoplasms. Somatic neoplasms e.g. breast, gastrointestinal, prostatic, and urinary cancers may also immunoreact with antibodies to PLAP. Anti-PLAP positivity in conjunction with anti-keratin negativity favors seminoma over carcinoma. Germ cell tumors are usually anti-keratin positive, but they regularly fail to stain with anti-EMA, whereas most carcinomas stain with anti-EMA. Anti-PLAP has been useful in the diagnosis of gestational trophoblastic disease. This antibody has shown cross-reaction with human intestinal alkaline phosphatase.

Two hundred three testicular germ cell tumors were studied immunohistochemically for the presence of placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP). Special emphasis was placed on the pattern and incidence of positive staining of intratubular malignant germ cells (ITMGCs) adjacent to tumors. 99%

Placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) is normally produced by primordial germ cells and syncytiotrophoblasts, and the detection of its expression has been useful in the diagnosis of germ cell tumors. We have recently observed PLAP immunoreactivity in normal human adult and

The gestational trophoblastic disease summarizes all types of hydatidiform moles, placental site trophoblastic tumor and choriocarcinoma. It is of clinical relevance to distinguish between complete hydatidiform mole and partial hydatidiform mole to predict prognosis of recurrency of molar pregnancy and

The distribution and transport of thrombospondin (TSP), fibrinogen (Fbg), fibronectin (Fn), and Factor VIII-related antigen (VIII:RAg) in resting and thrombin-stimulated platelets was investigated by immunofluorescence microscopy. In resting intact cells, little surface staining was seen for these proteins. In permeable

Recently, placental alkaline phosphatase (PLAP) has been suggested as a tumour marker in patients with seminomas (S), since elevated serum levels of PLAP were found with high frequency in these patients. The present immunoperoxidase study of 33 testicular germ cell
