MCAM antibody

Catalog No. ABIN6153528

Product Details anti-MCAM Antibody

Target: MCAM (Melanoma Cell Adhesion Molecule (MCAM))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This MCAM antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunofluorescence (IF)

Purpose: Mouse Monoclonal anti-MUC18 / Mucin 18 / CD146 (MUC18/1130), Purified, BSA-free

Characteristics: The human Mel-CAM gene maps to chromosome 11q23 and encodes a trans-membrane glycoprotein, also designated MCAM, MUC 18 or CD146, that belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and functions as a Ca2 -independent cell adhesion molecule. Mel-CAM expression is restricted to advanced primary and metastatic melanomas and to cell lines of the neuroectodermal lineage, but not normal melanocytes. Mel-CAM is found on 80 % of advanced primary human melanomas and correlates well with development of metastatic disease. 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.

Purification: Purified

Immunogen: Recombinant human MUC18 protein

Clone: MUC18-1130

Application Details

Application Notes: Immunohistology (formalin)

• Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA,  pH 9.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes
• Flow Cytometry 0.5-1 μg/million cells/0.1 mL
• Immunofluorescence 0.5-1.0 μg/mL
• Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
