Abstract
The invention relates to structural and regulatory DNA sequences encoding the germ cell ALP gene. These sequences differ at identified positions from the PLAP gene. Labelled nucleotide sequences complementary to germ cell ALP encoding nucleotide sequences but differing from PLAP may be used to detect the presence of the gene. The invention also relates to gene fragments specifying amino acid sequences which are specific to germ cell ALP and to antibodies raised against germ cell ALP-specific peptide fragments, their diagnostic and therapeutic uses.
