Mart-1 Cocktail
The MART-1/Melan A recognizes a protein of 18kDa, identified as MART-1 (Melanoma Antigen Recognized by T cells 1) or Melan-A. The MART-1 recognizes a subcellular fraction found in melanosomes. The antibody labels melanomas and tumors showing melanocytic differentiation. It does not mark neoplasms of epithelial origin, lymphomas or mesenchymal tumors. Melan-A is a useful addition to melanoma panels which are specific to melanocytic lesions. Both HMB-45 and MART-1 are coexpressed in the majority of melanomas, as well as solely expressed in certain cases. Studies have shown that MART-1 is more sensitive than HMB-45 when labeling metastatic melanomas.
