Application

Alkaline phosphatase is used in the laboratory to remove phosphate monoesters which prevents self-ligation. It is also used in the dairy industry to confirm pasturization of milk. Alkaline phosphatse is commonly conjugated to antibodies and used in immunoblotting, ELISA′s, and other antibody based detection assays.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Alkaline phosphatase is a hydrolytic enzyme which dephosphorylates a variety of molecules under basic conditions.

Unit Definition

1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which hydrolyzes 1 μmol 4-nitrophenyl phosphate per minute at pH 9.8 and 37 °C

Reconstitution

The solution can be used without dialysis (for enzyme immuno-assay).

One of the requirements for enzyme immunoassay is the formation of a labelled component of the assay system which can be either the ligand or the binder. Three methods for conjugating alkaline phosphatase to human placental lactogen were investigated, involving

Immunoliposomes were prepared and their immunoassay applications investigated. Liposomes were prepared from cholesterol and phospholipids including maleimidobenzoylphosphatidylethanolamine (MBPE) for conjunction with thiol-containing antigens. Alkaline phosphatase (APase) was entrapped in the liposome and BSA, the antigen, was modified by reaction with
