Product Details anti-Melanoma Antibody

Specificity: The HMB45 clone reacts with a neuraminidase-sensitive oligosaccharide side chain of a glycoconjugate present in immature melanosomes. The HMB45-reactive antigen is present in cutaneous melanocytes, prenatal and infantile retinal pigment epithelium and melanoma cells and is thought to be oncofetal in nature. has been shown to label the majority of melanomas. The MART-1/Melan A recognizes a protein of 18  kDa, identified at MART-1 (Melanoma Antigen Recognized by T cells 1) or Melan-A. Melan-A is a useful addition to melanoma panels as it is apparently specific for melanocytic lesions. Studies have also shown that MART-1 is more sensitive than HMB45 when labeling metastatic melanomas. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme involved in the initial stages of melanin biosynthesis. Studies have shown Tyrosinase to be a more sensitive marker when compared to HMB45 and MART-1. It has also shown to label a higher percentage of desmoplastic melanomas than HMB45. The combination of HMB45 and the MART-1 (cocktail) and Tyrosinase make this quadruple antibody cocktail a first-order pan melanoma screener.

Immunogen: Pigmented melanoma metastases from lymph nodes(HMB45). Recombinant human MART-1 protein(MART1). Recombinant tyrosinase protein (Tyrosinase).
