ターゲット情報

  • 機能

    Transcription factor for tyrosinase and tyrosinase-related protein 1. Binds to a symmetrical DNA sequence (E-boxes) (5'-CACGTG-3') found in the tyrosinase promoter. Plays a critical role in the differentiation of various cell types as neural crest-derived melanocytes, mast cells, osteoclasts and optic cup-derived retinal pigment epithelium.

  • 組織特異性

    Isoform M is exclusively expressed in melanocytes and melanoma cells. Isoform A and isoform H are widely expressed in many cell types including melanocytes and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). Isoform C is expressed in many cell types including RPE but not in melanocyte-lineage cells.

    ab3201 staining MiTF in the SK-MEL-28 (Human cutaneous melanoma cell line) cells by ICC/IF (Immunocytochemistry/immunofluorescence). Cells were fixed with Paraformaldehyde and permeabilized with Triton X-100 0.5% in PBS. Samples were incubated with primary antibody (1/100) for 24 hours at 4°C. An Alexa Fluor®488-conjugated Goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal(1/1000) was used as the secondary antibody. SK-MEL-28 cells was grown on chamber slide. MiTF was found to strictly localised in the nucleus. Cells were counter-stained with DAPI.

Question

Product code: 3201
Lot number: GR44826-1
Inquiry: A few questions regarding anti MITF ab 3201: - Should it be incubated with BSA or dried milk in TBST, and at what concentration? - What is the recomended incubation time- and temperature? (If you could also supply the same information about Anti- MAGE-1 antibody MA454 ab 79475?) Best regards

Read More
Answer

Thank you for your enquiry.

I would be pleased to help answer your questions. I assume you are using the western blot application?

Regarding dilution to use the antibody in WB, the details on the online datasheet for ab79475 recommend tousethe antibody at aconcentration of 0.5 - 1 ug/ml. For ab3201, the image on the datasheet includes information that this has been used at 5 ug/ml. Please note that these concentrations area guideline only and may require some individual optimization.

The incubation time and temperature will also require some individual optimization. I would recommend to try 4oC overnight. This can often provide the most efficient and specific staining.

I hope this will be helpful to you. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Question

How was this antibody determined not react with mouse. Customer has antibody and is working really well in IF on mouse samples?

Read More
Answer

Thank you for contacting Abcam yesterday.

I am working with our lab to try and understand where the data stating there was a lack of reactivity with mouse came from, as we have not tested it on mouse. I do apologize for the confusion and for bringing this to our attention. Once we have looked into this more thoroughly, we will update the datasheet as necessary.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.

Question

Hi!
Thank you for your reply,
I would also very much like to know if the antibody works best with
TBS-T w/dry milk or BSA.
Best regards

Read More
Answer

Thank you for your reply.

I can confirm that this antibody has been tested successfully in WB with blocking in 5% nonfat dry milk with PBS + 0.1%Tween 20. However, please note this may require some individual optimization.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Question

I tested the new antibody that AbCam sent me, and it worked. The staining (IHC), however, was not as strong as I would have imagined, even though we were using a 1:4 dilution. Do you have any pictures of positive control slides stained with MiTF that I could compare my results to?

Read More
Answer

Thank you for your email. I'm happy to hear that the new batch is working for your. I was able to obtain an image of human melanoma stained with ab3201 which I'm sending you as a separate email. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Read More

Question

Could I also get positive control slides from you so that I can test to see whether the new antibody is good?

Read More
Answer

Thank you for your email. I unfortunately cannot send you a positive control free of charge. 501 Mel cells and Melanoma are recommended as positive controls for ab3201. If you have any additional questions, please let us know.

Question

BATCH NUMBER Lot# 761 ORDER NUMBER 022T0022 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM No staining when doing immunohistochemistry with positive control (melanoma). Tried 8 different dilutions ranging from 1:2 to 1:100. Would like to receive a new batch of antibody with positive control slides. The test run was done with other antibodies on different slides, and all antibodies but MITF worked as expected. Used Dako Envision kit and citrate buffer at pH 6 for antigen retrieval. HAVE YOU RUN A "NO PRIMARY" CONTROL? Yes

Read More
Answer

Thank you for your email. I contacted the originator of this antibody concerning the problem that you were experiencing. It turns out that there is a problem with that particular batch and so I'm sending you a vial from a new batch free of charge. This is on order# 79431 and will take approximately 1 week for you to receive it as we have to first receive it from the originator. You will receive email updates regarding shipping. Also, you previously contacted me back in March because the vial that you received was labeled [C5] instead of [D5]. I had thought that there was a mis-labeling problem but the clone number was changed from [C5] to [D5] this past September. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Question

I have been using this antibody for more than a (2)years. The procedure that I sent you has not changed. I subsequently have ordered more of the same antibody and have good results. I don't need to change my procedure. I got a bad lot of antibody and all I want is a replacement in a timely order and the case will be closed. Procedure: Formalin fixed tissue, paraffin embedded tissue , dog tissue, run on an automated system: Ventana's BenchMark, 1:100 @32 min antibody incubation, using detection kit: BMK Enhanced V-Red Par Plus, antigen retrieval is "standard" duration with CC1, 2 min hematoxylin , 2 min Bluing Reagent. Dehydrate with 95% then 100% (6) dips each, cleared with (3) changes of Xylene (6) dips each then immediately cover slipped with an aqueous mounting medium. FYI: I had just enough of the previous lot# to run a few slides with controls and they worked perfectly. The only variable is the new lot#.

No DO YOU OBTAIN THE SAME RESULTS EVERY TIME? Yes WHAT STEPS HAVE YOU ALTERED? Protocal is identical to previous successful positive runs with older antibody of identical cat number. ADDITIONAL NOTES The only variable is the newly purchased antibody C5 to MiTF (cat#3201-500 , lot#58895)

Read More
Answer

Thank you for contacting us and providing more details of your protocol. We are very sorry to hear that you are having problem with this antibody. We have retested this antibody and would like to make the following suggestions: 1. For formalin-fixed sections, try to incubate the samples wit this primary antibody at 4-8 ug/ml concentration for 30 min at room temperature. 2. Staining of formalin-fixed tissue requires boiling tissue sections in 10 mM citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 10-20 min followed by cooling at RT for 20 min. 3. Use recommended positive control - human melanoma. We hope this will help. Should you still need further assistance, then please do not hesitate to contact us again.
