    Melan-A Antibody (0.N.397) is a mouse monoclonal IgG2b antibody that detects Melan-A in mouse, rat, and human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and immunohistochemistry. Melan-A, also known as MART-1, is a melanocyte differentiation antigen that plays a crucial role in the immune response against melanoma, as Melan-A is specifically expressed in melanomas, melanocyte cell lines, and the retina. The significance of Melan-A (0.N.397) antibody lies in detecting proteins recognized by HLA-A2-restricted tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes, which are essential for targeting and eliminating melanoma cells. This interaction highlights Melan-A′s potential as a target for cancer immunotherapy, as cytotoxic T lymphocytes can be generated using Melan-A peptides, thereby enhancing the immune system′s ability to combat melanoma. Anti-Melan-A antibody (0.N.397) enables researchers to explore the mechanisms of melanoma progression and the development of effective immunotherapeutic strategies.
