Description: Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) recognize melanoma-associated antigens, which belong to three main groups. These groups include tumor-associated testis-specific antigens, melanocyte differentiation antigens and mutated or aberrantly expressed antigens, which are routinely used as markers to identify melanomas based on their binding to specific monoclonal antibodies. PMEL 17, also designated gp100, ME20-M, or ME20-S, is classified as a melanocyte differentiation antigen. It is expressed at low levels in normal cell lines and tissues, but is upregulated in melanocytes. It is a highly glycosylated, secreted protein that is the product of proteolytic cleavage.Primary antibodies are available purified, or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets, because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
