Mouse anti-human melanoma associated antigen (clone kba.62)

- Anti-melanoma associated antigen reactive on paraffin sections.- KBA.62 is useful in ascertaining the immunomorphological diagnosis of malignant melanoma in routinely processed paraffin sections.- Staining is localised predominantly to the cell membrane with little or no cytoplasmic reactivity. Negative staining is observed in the majority of human non-melanocytic neoplasms.

Interest / Relevance: - Immunohistochemical diagnosis of primary and mmelanome.- Detection of melanoma cells in the sentinel lymph node.- KBA.62 reacts strongly and uniformly with the majority of benign and malignant melanocytic proliferations. KBA.62 antibody is a useful additional marker for melanoma, specifically in desmoplastic/spindle cell cases.
