MIA acts as a potent tumor cell growth inhibitor for malignant melanoma cells and some other neuroectodermal tumors, including gliomas, in an autocrine fashion.
In a study of human melanoma cell lines with different metastatic capacity MIA mRNA expression appeared to be inversely correlated with pigmentation.
MIA has been shown to represent a very sensitive and specific serum marker for systemic malignant melanoma that might be useful for staging of primary melanomas, detection of progression from localized to metastatic disease during follow-up, and monitoring therapy of advanced melanomas.
Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilutions:ELISA (Sandwich): 0.5-2ug/ml using 100ul/well antibody solution in conjunction with biotinylated anti-human Melanoma Inhibitory Activity Protein (M2869-95B) as a detection antibody, allows the detection of at least 2000-4000pg/well of recombinant human Melanoma Inhibitory Activity Protein
Western Blot: 0.1-0.2ug/ml.
Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant human Melanoma Inhibitory Activity Protein is 1.5-3ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions
Immunohistochemistry (FFPE): 1-2ug/ml using human pancreas infiltrating ductal adenocarcinoma tissue with an overnight incubation at 4ºC.
An HRP-labeled polymer detection system was used with an alcohol-soluble AEC chromogen.
Optimal results for these conditions were acheived with heat induced antigen retrieval with sodium citrate, pH 6 or enzyme induced antigen retrieval with proteinase K at RT
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
