Detection of podoplanin by immunohistochemistry with Podoplanin (D2-40) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody may be used to identify lymphatics and to aid in the diagnosis of epithelioid mesotheliomas and seminomas.

Podoplanin is a transmembrane glycoprotein that plays a role in development of the heart, lungs, and lymphatic system and is recognized by the monoclonal antibody D2-40. Podoplanin is expressed in several normal tissue types including lymphatic endothelium, mesothelium, and fetal testis. Podoplanin expression in lymphatic endothelium makes it a useful marker to identify tumor lymph vascular invasion.1-3 Podoplanin is also expressed in epithelioid mesotheliomas and seminomas.1,4,5 Podoplanin immunohistochemistry shows a cytoplasmic pattern of staining.
