MLANA antibody

Catalog No. ABIN3026559

Product Details anti-MLANA Antibody

Target: MLANA (Melan A (MLANA))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MLANA antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunofluorescence (IF), Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p)), ELISA, Immunoprecipitation (IP)

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.

Clone: M2-9E3

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.\. ELISA: order BSA-free format for coating,FACS: 0.5-1 μg/million cells,IF: 1-2 μg/mL,WB: 0.5-1 μg/mL,IP: 0.5-1 μg/500 μg protein lysate,IHC (FFPE): 0.5-1 μg/mL for 30 minutes at RT (1),Prediluted format : incubate for 30 min at RT (2)

Restrictions: For Research Use only
