Description: MART-1/Melan-A is a protein antigen that is found on the surface of melanocytes. Antibodies against the antigen are used in the medical specialty of anatomic pathology in order to recognize cells of melanocytic differentiation, useful for the diagnosis of a melanoma. The MART-1/Melan-A antigen is specific for the melanocyte lineage, found in normal skin, the retina, and melanocytes, but not in other normal tissues. It is thus useful as a marker for melanocytic tumors (melanomas) with the caveat that it is normally found in benign nevi as well. [Wiki]

Immunogen: Full length recombinant human MART-1/Melan-A protein was used as the immunogen for this MART-1 antibody.

Storage: Store the MART-1 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
