Product Description
MART-1 recognizes a protein of 18 kDa, identified at MART-1 (Melanoma Antigen Recognized by T cells).1 MART-1 is a useful addition to melanoma panels as it is apparently specific for melanocytic lesions.1,2 Studies have shown that MART-1 is more sensitive than HMB45 when labeling metastatic melanomas.3 This MART-1 cocktail does not stain steroid tumors. Tyrosinase is a key enzyme involved in the initial stages of melanin biosynthesis. The combination of MART-1 and Tyrosinase aids in identifying metastatic melanoma in sentinel lymph nodes.4
The combination of monoclonal MART-1 and Tyrosinase would offer an advantage of specific epitopes for melanoma diagnosis.
