MART-1 (also known as Melan A) is a melanocyte differentiation antigen. It is present in melanocytes of normal skin and retina, nevi and in more than 85% of melanomas. Tyrosinase is an enzyme integral in the process of melanin synthesis, and found in 85% to 90% of malignant melanomas. Given these statistics, this cocktail is ideally suited to detection of melanomas and melanocytic lesions.

Malignant melanomas of the oral and sinonasal mucosa are rare tumors. Amelanotic variants can, on occasion, be difficult to recognize by routine light microscopy. Immunohistochemical studies may be needed for a final diagnosis. A number of new monoclonal antibodies to

With the recent availability of novel antibodies against melanoma antigens tyrosinase and MART-1, it is important to validate their usefulness in pathology practice and in screening patients for immunotherapy treatment. In the present study conducted by the Melanoma Cooperative Group
MART-1, Melan-A, and Tyrosinase have shown encouraging results for evaluation of melanoma micrometastases in sentinel lymph nodes, as compared to conventionally used S-100 protein and HMB-45. To achieve higher sensitivity, some studies recommend evaluation of three sections, each at intervals
IHC antibodies enhance dermatopathology beyond H&E stained slides, improving techniques and applications for dermatological research.
