Synaptophysin

Synaptophysin antibody [clone 27G12] is a reliable marker for neuroendocrine and neuronal neoplasms, as well as their normal counterparts. Synaptophysin has a higher degree of specificity than NSE, but is often used in conjunction with CD56, NSE and Chromogranin. This new clone is very specific and provides sharper staining when compared to other rabbit synaptophysin antibodies. In-house studies, reference laboratories, European institutions and NordiQC have validated this antibody as a first line screener for neuroendocrine tumors.
