Description
The LpMab-23 monoclonal antibody specifically recognizes a cancer-specific form of human podoplanin. Podoplanin is a 38-44 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is encoded by PDPN. This heavily glycosylated mucin type protein is named for its expression on kidney glomerular epithelial cells known as podocytes. Although the podoplanin protein is expressed on a wide variety of cell types in normal tissues (including placenta, lung, skeletal muscle and brain), LpMab-23 recognizes an altered glycosylation pattern that occurs on oral cancer cells and it shows minimal reactivity with the surrounding non-cancerous tissue. In contrast, the LpMab-17 monoclonal antibody recognizes a non-glycosylated epitope of podoplanin on normal and cancer cells. Podoplanin induces platelet aggregation via its three platelet aggregation-stimulating (PLAG) domains; it binds C-type lectin domain family 1 member B (Clec1B, also known as CLEC2); and it is involved in actin cytoskeleton organization and in cellular adhesion and migration. It also plays roles in organogenesis, vascular development, inflammatory diseases, tumorigenesis, and cancer cell motility and metastasis.

R-phycoerythrin (PE) is an accessory photosynthetic pigment found in red algae. It exists in vitro as a 240-kDa protein with 23 phycoerythrobilin chromophores per molecule. This makes PE one of the brightest fluorochromes for flow cytometry applications, but its photobleaching properties make it unsuitable for fluorescence microscopy.

Preparation and Storage
Store undiluted at 4°C and protected from prolonged exposure to light. Do not freeze.
The monoclonal antibody was purified from tissue culture supernatant or ascites by affinity chromatography.
The antibody was conjugated with R-PE under optimum conditions, and unconjugated antibody and free PE were removed.
Product Notices
- Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
- An isotype control should be used at the same concentration as the antibody of interest.
- Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
