Application: Immunohistochemistry (IHC), Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed Sections) (IHC (f))

Clone: MCAM-3048

Product Details anti-MCAM Antibody

Binding Specificity: AA 226-374

Specificity: 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.

Cross-Reactivity (Details): Human.

Purification: 1.0mg/ml of Ab purified from Bioreactor by Protein A/G.

Immunogen: Recombinant human MCAM protein fragment (around aa226-374) (exact sequence is proprietary)

Isotype: IgG2b kappa
