Product Details anti-TYR Antibody (Biotin)

Purpose: Mouse Monoclonal anti-Tyrosinase (OCA1/812), Biotin Conjugate

Characteristics: This antibody recognizes a cluster of proteins between 70-80 kDa, identified as tyrosinase. Occasionally a minor band at 55 kDa is also detected. This MAb shows no cross-reaction with MAGE-1 and tyrosinase-related protein 1, TRP-1/gp75. Tyrosinase is a copper-containing metalloglycoprotein that catalyzes several steps in the melanin pigment biosynthetic pathway, the hydroxylation of tyrosine to L-3,4-dihydroxy-phenylalanine (dopa), and the subsequent oxidation of dopa to dopaquinone. Mutations of the tyrosinase gene occur in various forms of albinism. Tyrosinase is one of the targets for cytotoxic T-cell recognition in melanoma patients. Staining of melanomas with this MAb shows tyrosinase in melanotic as well as amelanotic variants. This MAb is a useful marker for melanocytes and melanomas. 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.

Immunogen: Recombinant human TYR protein

Isotype: IgG2a kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Immunohistology formalin-fixed 0.5-1 μg/mL

• Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM Tris with 1 mM EDTA,  pH 9.0, or 10 mM citrate buffer,  pH 6.0, for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes
• Flow Cytometry 0.5-1 μg/million cells/0.1 mL
• Immunofluorescence 1-2 μg/mL
• ELISA For coating, order Ab without BSA
• Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
