Description: This antibody cocktail recognizes two melanoma-specific proteins, which include MART-1 and gp100. MART-1 is a newly identified melanocyte differentiation antigen recognized by autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Function of gp100 is not known but it is reported to be a useful marker for melanocytes and melanomas. A cocktail of these two markers is sensitive for labeling formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded melanomas and other tumors showing melanocytic differentiation.
Immunogen: Recombinant hMART-1 protein (DT101 & BC199) and extract of pigmented melanoma metastases from lymph nodes (HMB45) were used as the immunogen for this Melanoma Marker antibody cocktail.
Storage: Store the Melanoma Marker antibody cocktail at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
