Scientific Background: | MART-1/Melan-A is a protein antigen that is found on the surface of melanocytes. The MART-1/Melan-A antigen is specific for the melanocyte lineage, found in normal skin, the retina, and melanocytes, but not in other normal tissues. It is thus useful as a marker for melanocytic tumors (melanomas) with the caveat that it is normally found in benign nevi as well. |
