| Background | This antibody recognizes a high molecular weight proteoglycan with a molecular weight of > 450 kD (chondroitin sulfate) and 250 kD (core protein). The antibody reacts strongly with melanoma cells derived from cell lines and short term cultures and reacts preferentially with melanoma cells in frozen tissue sections. The antibody can also be used to detect melanoma lesions in vivo. Crossreactivity: The antibody reacts with most naevi and perineurium, and shows weak reactivity with hair follicles. |
