Melanoma Marker (MART-1 + Tyrosinase + gp100) Antibody (M2-7C10 + M2-9E3 + T311 + HMB45) [Alexa Fluor™ Plus 488] Summary

• Immunogen: Recombinant Melanoma Marker (MART-1 + Tyrosinase + gp100) protein (M2-7C10; M2-9E3); Recombinant tyrosinase protein (T311); Extract of pigmented melanoma metastases from lymph nodes (HMB45)
• Localization: Cytoplasmic
• Marker: Melanoma Marker
• Specificity: This antibody cocktail recognizes three melanoma-specific proteins, which include MART-1, Tyrosinase and gp100. MART-1 is a newly identified melanocyte differentiation antigen recognized by autologous cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Tyrosinase is one of the targets for cytotoxic T-cell recognition in melanoma patients. Function of gp100 is not known but it is reported to be a useful marker for melanocytes and melanomas. This cocktail of three markers is designed for extremely sensitive labeling of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded melanomas and other tumors showing melanocytic differentiation.
