MyBioSource.com's Rabbit anti PLAC1 Polyclonal Antibody is a Rabbit Polyclonal antibody. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunohistochemistry, Immunoprecipitation, and Western Blot. The Rabbit anti PLAC1 Polyclonal Antibody was generated using PLAC1, and placenta specific 1 as the antigen and it reacts with Human, Mouse, and Rat.
Description
The PLAC1, a placenta-specific gene, which encodes a putative cell surface protein, is highly expressed in placenta, testis, cancer cell lines and lung tumors. PLAC1 is exclusively expressed by cells of trophoblastic lineage in the mouse, and maps to a region of the X-chromosome known to be important in placenta growth. PLAC1 is also expressed in human hepatocellular cancer tissues as well as in several other types of cancer tissues and/or tumor cell lines. PLAC1 represents a new class of tumor associated antigen with restricted expression in placenta and cancer tissues, that may serve as a target for cancer vaccination
