  Antibody with azide - store at 2 to 8C. Antibody without azide - store at -20 to -80 C.
• Additional Information: Recombinant Monoclonal Antibody.
• Immunogen: Recombinant full-length human PMEL17/SILV protein (Uniprot: P40967 )
• Localization: Cytoplasmic
• Marker: Melanoma Marker
• Specificity: The gp100 molecule is a 100kDa glycosylated protein that is cleaved into a small (26kDa) carboxy-terminal fragment and a larger amino- terminal section (60 64 kDa), which is subsequently cleaved to generate 26kDa and 34 38kDa fragments. By immunohistochemistry, it specifically recognizes a protein in melanocytes and melanomas. This monoclonal antibody 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 monoclonal antibody stains fetal and neonatal melanocytes, junctional and blue nevus cells, and malignant melanoma. This monoclonal antibody also stains Angiomyolipoma (PEComa).
• Isotype: IgG
• Clonality: Monoclonal
• Host: Rabbit
• Gene: PMEL
• Purity: Protein A or G purified

Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • Immunohistochemistry
  • Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin 1-2 ug/ml
  • Western Blot 1-2 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.

Reactivity Notes

Does not react with Canine and Rat

Background

Melanoma gp100 a melanosomal matrix protein whose expression is closely correlated with cellular melanin content and which is a frequent melanoma tumor antigen recognized by cytotoxic T lymphocytes. It is a likely candidate gene for some cases of human oculocutaneous albinism not associated with known albinism loci.
