Quick Overview for Melanoma gp100 antibody (ABIN7658921)

Target: Melanoma gp100 (PMEL) (Premelanosome Protein (PMEL))

Reactivity: Human

Host: Mouse

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This Melanoma gp100 antibody is un-conjugated

Clone: HMB45 PMEL-783

Product Details anti-Melanoma gp100 Antibody

Purpose: gp100 / Melanosome / PMEL17 / SILV (Melanoma Marker)(HMB45 + PMEL/783)

Characteristics: By immunohistochemistry, this antibody 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).

Immunogen: Extract of pigmented melanoma metastases from lymph nodes (HMB45), Recombinant human SILV protein (PMEL/783)

Isotype: IgG1, kappa

Application Details

Application Notes: Higher concentration may be required for direct detection using primary antibody conjugates than for indirect detection with secondary antibody. Immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed): 0.5-1.0 μg/mL for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer, pH 6.0, for 10-20 minutes followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes. Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined by user
