Notes

The staining intensity of this melanoma cocktail is enhanced by performing heat mediated antigen retrieval using a high pH buffer. The HMB-45 portion of this antibody will stain with citrate buffer, pH 6.0; however, data shows the MART-1 portion of this cocktail may be negative unless a high pH buffer is used. We therefore, strongly recommend that you do not use citrate buffer for this antibody cocktail.

Notes

This cocktail is HMB45 + two different clones of MART-1[M2-7C10] + [M2-9E3]. HMB34 isotype: IgG1/kappa and both clones of MART-1: IgG2b + IgG2b

HMB-45 and MART-1 are coexpressed in the majority of melanomas, as well as uniquely expressed in certain cases. Thus, the HMB-45 and MART-1 cocktail is potentially more sensitive than HMB-45 or MART-1 alone. MART-1 is a cocktail of clones M2-7C10 and M2-9E3. The combination of HMB-45 and the MART-1 cocktail make this triple antibody cocktail a first-order pan melanoma screener.

This product was changed from ascites to tissue culture supernatant on 14/07/17. The following lots are from ascites and are still in stock as of 14/07/17 – GR313023 and GR3175007. Lot numbers higher than GR313023 will be from tissue culture supernatant. Please note that the dilutions may need to be adjusted accordingly.

What is an oligoclonal antibody?
This oligoclonal antibody is a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies that have been carefully selected. Oligoclonal antibodies have not only the specificity and batch-to-batch consistency of a monoclonal antibody, but also have the advantage of the sensitivity of a polyclonal antibody due to their ability to recognize multiple epitopes on an antigen.
