Chromosomal location: 4 E1, 4 Monoclonal antibodies were produced by immunizing Syrian hamsters with a murine thymic stromal cell line.
Purification
This antibody recognizes mouse Podoplanin. Hamster IgG antibody from hybridomas was purified from cell culture supernatant by Protein G chromatography and then biotinylated using a standard protocol.

Background
Pdpn, T1a, Gp38, OTS-8, T1alpha, RANDAM-2, T1-alpha,Podoplanin, also known as T1 alpha (T1α), is a mucin type transmembrane glycoprotein with extensive O-glycosylation. It is specifically expressed by lymphatic endothelial cells but not blood vascular endothelial cells. In addition, non-endothelial cells in numerous normal tissues also express the protein. Within the region used as the immunogen, mouse Podoplanin shares 73.5 % and 29 % amino acid sequence homology with rat and human Podoplanin, respectively.
