Description: This mAb recognizes a protein of ~50 kDa identified as SOX10. This mAb is highly specific and does not cross-react with other members of the SOX-family. SOX genes comprise a family of genes that are related to the mammalian sex-determining gene SRY. These genes similarly contain sequences that encode for the HMG-box domain, which is responsible for the sequence-specific DNA-binding activity. SOX10 is a sensitive marker of melanoma, including conventional, spindled, and desmoplastic subtypes. It is expressed by metastatic melanomas and nodal capsular nevus in sentinel lymph nodes, but not by other lymph node components such as dendritic cells, which usually express S100 protein. Commonly used melanoma markers, such as anti-HMB-45 and anti-Melan-A, are poorly expressed in desmoplastic melanomas while SOX10 is moderately to strongly expressed in desmoplastic melanomas. SOX10 is considered as a very reliable marker for recognizing residual desmoplastic melanomas. In normal tissues, it is expressed in Schwann cells, melanocytes, and myoepithelial cells of salivary, bronchial and mammary glands. SOX10 expression is also observed in mast cells.
Immunogen: Amino acids 115-269 of the human protein were used as the immunogen for the SOX-10 antibody.
Storage: Store the SOX-10 antibody at 2-8oC (with azide) or aliquot and store at -20 °C or colder (without azide).
