Abstract
Six monoclonal antibodies against human placental alkaline phosphate [orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (alkaline optimum), EC 3.1.3.1], a highly polymorphic enzyme, were tested for reactivity against a panel of 295 placental extracts that had been typed electrophoretically. The products of the three common alleles as well as several rare alleles could be discriminated by the various antibodies. In some cases differences between allelic products were reflected by essentially "all-or-none" reactions, but in other cases the differences were smaller and demonstrable only by quantitative analysis of the binding. Evidence for allelic differences not detectable electrophoretically was also obtained.
