MelanA (MLANA) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: SPM342]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	SPM342
Applications	FC, IF, IHC
Recommend Dilution	Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 μg/106 cells. Immunofluorescence: 1-2 μg/ml. Immunohistochemistry on Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Sections: 0.5-1 μg/ml for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues is enhanced by boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes: Positive Control: SK-MEL-13 and SK-MEL-19 Melanoma cell lines; Melanomas.
Reactivity	Equine, Human
Host	Mouse
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Recombinant hMART-1 protein.
Specificity	This antibody recognizes a protein doublet of 20-22kDa, identified as MART-1 (Melanoma Antigen Recognized by T cells 1) or Melan-A. MART-1 is a newly identified melanocyte differentiation antigen recognized by autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Seven other melanoma associated antigens recognized by autologous cytotoxic T cells include MAGE-1, MAGE-3, tyrosinase, gp100, gp75, BAGE-1, and GAGE-1. Subcellular fractionation shows that MART-1 is present in melanosomes and endoplasmic reticulum. This Monoclonal Antibody labels melanomas and other tumors showing melanocytic differentiation. It is also a useful positive-marker for angiomyolipomas. It does not stain tumor cells of epithelial, lymphoid, glial, or mesenchymal origin. Cellular Localization: Cytoplasmic.  Negative Species: Mouse and Rat.
