Product Details anti-Melanoma gp100 Antibody

Purpose: gp100 / Melanosome / PMEL17 / SILV (Melanoma Marker) Antibody

Specificity: The gp100 Molecule is a 100 kDa glycosylated protein that is cleaved into a small (26 kDa) carboxy-terminal fragment and a larger amino- terminal section (6079oΩ79oΩ64 kDa), which is subsequently cleaved to generate 26 kDa and 3479oΩ79oΩ38 kDa fragments. By immunohistochemistry, it specifically recognizes a protein in melanocytes and melanomas. This MAb reacts with junctional and blue nevus cells and variably with fetal and neonatal melanocytes. Intradermal nevi, normal adult melanocytes, and non-melanocytic cells are negative. It does not stain tumor cells of epithelial, lymphoid, glial, or mesenchymal origin. Metastatic amelanotic melanoma can often be confused with a variety of poorly differentiated carcinomas, large cell lymphomas, and sarcomas using H E stains alone. It is also difficult to differentiate melanoma from spindle cell carcinomas and various types of mesenchymal neoplasms. This MAb stains fetal and neonatal melanocytes, junctional and blue nevus cells, and malignant melanoma. This MAb also stains Angiomyolipoma (PEComa).
