Quick Overview for MLANA antibody (ABIN3026558)

Target: MLANA (Melan A (MLANA))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MLANA antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Clone: M2-9E3

Product Details anti-MLANA Antibody

Characteristics: This antibody recognizes a protein doublet of 20-22 kDa, identified as MART-1 (Melanoma Antigen Recognized by T cells 1) or Melan-A. MART-1 is a melanocyte differentiation antigen recognized by autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes. There are seven other melanoma associated antigens recognized by autologous cytotoxic T cells: MAGE-1, MAGE-3, tyrosinase, gp100, gp75, BAGE-1, and GAGE-1. Subcellular fractionation shows that MART-1 is present in melanosomes and endoplasmic reticulum. This MART-1 antibody labels melanomas and other tumors showing melanocytic differentiation. It is also a useful positive-marker for angiomyolipomas. The antibody does not stain tumor cells of epithelial, lymphoid, glial, or mesenchymal origin.

Purification: Protein G affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Recombinant human Melan-A protein was used as the immunogen for this antibody.

Isotype: IgG2b kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: The concentration stated for each application is a general starting point. Variations in protocols, secondaries and substrates may require the Melan-A antibody to be titered up or down for optimal performance.

1. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues is enhanced by boiling tissue sections in 10  mM Citrate Buffer,  pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.\. Prediluted IHC only format : incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Handling

Format: Liquid

Buffer: Prediluted in 1X PBS with 0.1 mg/mL BSA (US sourced) and 0.05 % sodium azide, *For IHC use only*
