Product Specifications

Gene Name

[SILV]

NCBI Gene ID

6490

Reactivity

Human, Horse. Does not react with rat. Others-not tested.

Storage Conditions

Store at 2 to 8 °C. Antibody is stable for 24 months.

Specificity

By immunohistochemistry, it specifically recognizes a protein in melanocytes and melanomas. This MAb reacts with junctional and blue nevus cells and variably with fetal and neonatal melanocytes. Intradermal nevi, normal adult melanocytes, and non-melanocytic cells are negative. It does not stain tumor cells of epithelial, lymphoid, glial, or mesenchymal origin.This Mab labels formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded melanomas and other tumors showing melanocytic differentiation.
