Anti-MART-1 Antibody

Raised in rabbit and affinity-purified by epitope-specific immunogen chromatography, this unconjugated polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com is directed against MART-1 (Melan-A), the melanocyte lineage marker widely used in melanoma research. The antibody is supplied at 50 µl with a protein concentration of 1.0 mg/mL, formulated in phosphate-buffered saline (without Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺), pH 7.4, containing 150 mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol as a cryoprotectant. It is a rabbit IgG isotype polyclonal and is validated for Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) applications, with reactivity confirmed against human and mouse samples. The immunogen is a synthetic peptide derived from the human MART-1 sequence, and the reagent detects endogenous levels of total MART-1 protein, making it suitable for studies of melanocytic differentiation, melanoma cell biology and pigment-cell biology workflows. Shipping is performed at 4 °C; on arrival the antibody should be aliquoted and stored long-term at –20 °C, with repeated freeze/thaw cycles avoided to preserve activity. Intended strictly for research use, this reagent provides a reliable rabbit host option for laboratories that require a non-mouse polyclonal antibody against the MART-1 antigen.
