Melanoma Marker antibody (CF®594)

Catalog No. ABIN6157125

Product Details anti-Melanoma Marker Antibody (CF®594)

Target: Melanoma Marker

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Melanoma Marker antibody is conjugated to CF®594

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Sections) (IHC (f)), Immunostaining (ISt)

Purpose: Mouse Monoclonal anti-Melanoma Marker (HMB45 + M2-7C10 + M2-9E3 + T311), CF594 Conjugate

Characteristics: 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. Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® dyes and other labels. CF® dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
