Host | Mouse |
Conjugate | Unconjugated |
Format | IHC-Prediluted |
Description | The prediluted antibody does not require any mixing, dilution, reconstitution, or titration; the antibody is ready-to-use and optimized for staining. |
Immunogen | Recombinant Melanoma Marker (MART-1 + Tyrosinase + gp100) protein (M2-7C10; M2-9E3); Recombinant tyrosinase protein (T311); Extract of pigmented melanoma metastases from lymph nodes (HMB45) |
Localization | Cytoplasmic |
Marker | Melanoma Marker |
Specificity | This antibody cocktail recognizes three melanoma-specific proteins, which include MART-1, Tyrosinase and gp100. MART-1 is a newly identified melanocyte differentiation antigen recognized by autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Tyrosinase is one of the targets for cytotoxic T-cell recognition in melanoma patients. Function of gp100 is not known but it is reported to be a useful marker for melanocytes and melanomas. This cocktail of three markers is designed for extremely sensitive labeling of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded melanomas and other tumors showing melanocytic differentiation. |

Application Notes | Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed): 1-2ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95C followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined. |
Storage | Store at 4C. |
