Background information
The antibody clone 9.2.27 recognizes the melanoma-associated chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan (MCSP) antigen, also known as high molecular weight melanoma-associated antigen, or NG2. MCSP is expressed on melanoma cells but not on carcinoma cells, fibroblastoid cells, or cells of hematopoietic origin.
Downstream applications
Cells enriched with Anti-Melanoma (MCSP) MicroBeads can be analyzed by immunocytochemistry, flow cytometry, or molecular biology methods. The isolated cells can also be cultured.
