Description
Antibody A103 is specific for Melan-A (likely an abbreviation for 'melanocyte antigen'), also called MART-1, a unique antigen on melanoma cells recognized by CTLs (cytotoxic T lymphocytes), making it useful as a melanocyte differentiation marker. It is commonly used to identify metastatic tumors of melanocytic origin, as well as perivascular epithelioid cell tumors. Unlike another commonly used Melan-A / MART-1 antibody, M2-7C10, A103 also stains steroid hormone producing cells, making it valuable in identifying adrenocortical carcinomas. Note: this protein was identified in 1994 by two different labs, one naming it MART-1 (melanoma antigen recognized by T-cells) and the other Melan-A. Both names are commonly used in literature, but clone A103 antibody is generally referred to as being anti-Melan-A.

Monoclonal
Clone
A103
Conjugation
Unconjugated
Purification
Protein G affinity chromatography
Dilution
Flow cytometry: 1-2ug/million cells, Immunofluorescence: 1-2ug/ml, Western blot: 1-2ug/ml, Immunohistochemistry (FFPE) : 1-2ug/ml for 30 min at RT
Storage Conditions
Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Notes
For research use only.
Applications Notes
Due to differences in protocols and secondary antibody used, the Melan-A antibody may require titration for optimal performance.1. FFPE staining is enhanced by boiling sections in pH 9 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.2. The prediluted format is supplied in a dropper bottle and is optimized for use in IHC. After epitope retrieval step (if required), drip mAb solution onto the tissue section and incubate at RT for 30 min.
