TPBG, also known as 5T4 oncofetal antigen, is a leucine-rich repeat glycoprotein that plays a significant role in embryonic development and cancer biology. Originally identified in trophoblast cells, TPBG has gained considerable attention as a tumor-associated antigen due to its restricted expression in normal adult tissues but frequent overexpression across multiple carcinoma types. The protein functions as a Wnt-activated inhibitory factor, positioning it at the intersection of developmental signaling pathways and oncogenic processes, making it a compelling target for both basic stem cell research and translational oncology studies.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 9H9, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding experimental workflows require. Because the antibody sequence is defined and produced recombinantly with a human IgG1 framework, researchers can expect reliable performance across experiments and between lots, eliminating the variability often encountered with traditional hybridoma-derived reagents. The antibody was raised against recombinant human TPBG protein and demonstrates specificity for human samples.
Validation studies confirm robust performance in flow cytometry applications, with recommended dilutions ranging from 1:50 to 1:200. Testing on MCF7 cells, a human breast adenocarcinoma line known to express TPBG, demonstrated clear positive signal separation from isotype control, indicating specific detection of surface TPBG expression. The antibody is also validated for ELISA applications, providing flexibility for researchers working across different experimental platforms.
For investigators exploring stem cell biology, tumor immunology, or developing therapeutic strategies targeting oncofetal antigens, this antibody provides a dependable tool for characterizing TPBG expression patterns in human samples.
