MelanA (MLANA) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: SPM540]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	SPM540
Applications	FC, IF, IHC, IP, WB
Recommend Dilution	ELISA: Use Antibody without BSA for Coating. Flow Cytometry: 0.5-1 μg/106 cells. Immunofluorescence: 1-2 μg/ml. Western Blot: 0.5-1 μg/ml. Immunoprecipitation: 0.5-1 μg/500 μg protein lysate. Immunohistochemistry on Frozen and Formalin-Fixed Paraffin Sections: 0.5-1 μg/ml for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires 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	Human, Mouse, Rat
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 MAb 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.
