Extra Details:: MART-1/Melan-A is a protein antigen that is found on the surface of melanocytes. The MART-1/Melan-A antigen is specific for the melanocyte lineage, found in normal skin, the retina, and melanocytes, but not in other normal tissues. It is thus useful as a marker for melanocytic tumors (melanomas) with the caveat that it is normally found in benign nevi as well. Antibodies against the antigen are used in the medical specialty of anatomic pathology in order to recognize cells of melanocytic differentiation, useful for the diagnosis of a melanoma.

Recommended Dilution: Immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed paraffin sections): 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
