MyoD1 (Rhabdomyosarcoma Marker)

Antibody with azide - store at 2 to 8 degree C.<br>Antibody without azide - store at -20 to -80 degree C.<br>Antibody is stable for 24 months. Non-hazardous. No MSDS required.

Recognizes a phospho-protein of 45kDa, identified as MyoD1. This MAb does not cross react with myogenin, Myf5, or Myf6. Antibody to MyoD1 labels the nuclei of myoblasts in developing muscle tissues. MyoD1 is not detected in normal adult tissue, but is highly expressed in the tumor cell nuclei of rhabdomyosarcomas. Occasionally nuclear expression of MyoD1 is seen in ectomesenchymoma and a subset of Wilms tumors. Weak cytoplasmic staining is observed in several non-muscle tissues, including glandular epithelium and also in rhabdomyosarcomas, neuroblastomas, Ewings sarcomas and alveolar soft part sarcomas. Only nuclear staining should be considered as evidence of skeletal muscle differentiation.
