HMB-45_PURE_HMB-45_Antibody_IHC_1_091117
IHC staining of anti-HMB-45 antibody (clone HMB-45) on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human melanoma tissue. The tissue was incubated with anti-HMB-45 (top) or mouse IgG1 κ control (bottom) at 5µg/mL for 24 hours at 4°C. Fast Red was used for detection followed by hematoxylin counterstaining.

Description

The HMB-45 antibody reacts with an intracytoplasmic antigen expressed by a majority of melanomas (melanotic and amelanotic) and other tumors expressing melanocytic differentiation. In general, epithelioid melanoma cells display more uniform staining than more sarcomatous spindle-shaped melanoma cells. Tumor cells of epithelial, lymphoid, glial and mesenchymal origin are negative. In normal cells, the antibody reacts with junctional and blue nevus cells and with fetal and neonatal melanocytes (variable). Intradermal nevi, non-melanocytic cells and normal adult melanocytes are negative.
