Melanoma Associated Antigen (KBA.62) Antibody (KBA.62) - Azide and BSA Free Summary

• Description: 1.0 mg/ml of antibody purified from Bioreactor Concentrate by Protein A/G. Prepared in 10mM PBS WITHOUT BSA & azide. Also available at 200 ug/ml WITH BSA & azide (NBP2-45285).
  
  Antibody with azide - store at 2 to 8C. Antibody without azide - store at -20 to -80C.
• Immunogen: Human KAL cells derived from lymph node metastasis of malignant melanoma
• Localization: Cell Surface and Cytoplasmic
• Specificity: KBA.62 is a novel anti-melanoma antibody. It reacts positively against melanocytic tumors but not other tumors, thus demonstrating specificity and sensitivity. Moreover, it reacts positively against junctional nevus cells but not intradermal nevi, and against fetal melanocytes but not normal adult melanocytes. KBA.62 antibody is useful in identifying malignant melanomas. Metastatic amelanotic melanoma can often be confused with a variety of poorly differentiated carcinomas, large cell lymphomas, sarcomas, spindle cell carcinomas and various types of mesenchymal neoplasms. A keratin-negative, vimentin-rich neoplasm that immuno-reacts with antibody to S100 protein and with KBA.62 antibody is, with rare exception, a melanoma. Anti-KBA.62 is a useful additional marker for melanoma, specifically in desmoplastic/spindle cell cases and in the context of micro-metastasis in sentinel lymph node.
• Isotype: IgG1 Kappa
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Mouse
• Purity: Protein A or G purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence 1-2 ug/ml
  • Immunofluorescence 0.5 - 1.0 ug/ml
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin 0.5 - 1.0 ug/ml
• Application Notes: Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed): 1-2ug/ml for 30 minutes at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95C followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
  Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.
