Further Information

Additional Names:
MLANA, Antigen LB39-AA, Antigen SK29-AA, Melan-A, Protein Melan-A, MART-1, MART1
Application Note:
Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 0.5-1 ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT (1)

The optimal dilution of the MART-1 antibody for each application should be determined by the researcher.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues is enhanced by boiling tissue sections in 10mM Citrate Buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.

Background:
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]
