Also known as

Melanoma Associated Antigen

Other names

melanoma-associated antigen; N/A

Form/Appearance

Each vial contains 1ml of culture supernatant of monoclonal antibody containing 0.09% sodium azide.

Tested applications:

ELISA (EIA), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) (frozen), Immunohistochemistry (IHC) (paraffin)

Storage and shipping

Store the antibody at +4 degrees Celsius., or in small aliquots the antibody should be stored at -20 degrees Celsius..

Properties

If you buy Antibodies supplied by MBS Monoclonals they should be stored frozen at - 24°C for long term storage and for short term at + 5°C.

Species reactivity

Human (Homo sapiens); Due to limited knowledge and inability for testing each and every species, the reactivity of the antibody may extend to other species which are not listed hereby.

Description

This antibody needs to be stored at + 4°C in a fridge short term in a concentrated dilution. Freeze thaw will destroy a percentage in every cycle and should be avoided.Antigens are peptides or recombinant or native dependent on the production method.

Test

Mouse or mice from the Mus musculus species are used for production of mouse monoclonal antibodies or mabs and as research model for humans in your lab. Mouse are mature after 40 days for females and 55 days for males. The female mice are pregnant only 20 days and can give birth to 10 litters of 6-8 mice a year. Transgenic, knock-out, congenic and inbread strains are known for C57BL/6, A/J, BALB/c, SCID while the CD-1 is outbred as strain.

Specificity and cross-reactivity

NKI/C-3 is a MAb which is directed anti a predominantly intracellular protein of Human melanoma cells. The antigen is abundantly present in malignant melanomas, nevocellular nevi, and neuroendocrine tumors, whereas it has not been detectable in most other tissues. The antigen recognized by NKI/C-3 is a glycoprotein which appears as a broad band in SDS-PAGE. The antigen was shown to consist of a single protein backbone to which two or three.V-linked glycans were added cotranslationally. Extensive further heterogeneity was geneRated in the Golgi compartment and was shown to be dependent on the presence of complex type sugars. Although the antigen is associated with melanomas, it was not codistributed with the tyrosinase activity associated with melanogenesis. The antigen did show codistribution with Cathepsin D, which is a marker for lysosomal functions. NKI/C3 originally was described as a marker for melanoma. Recently, it resurfaced as a marker to sepaRate cellular neurothekeoma from other dermal tumors in the differential diagnosis.; Since it is not possible to test each and every species our knowledge on the corss reactivity of the antibodies is limited. This particular antibody might cross react with speacies outside of the listed ones.
