General description
Almost all melanomas, astrocytomas,a proportion of sarcomas, a small number of carcinomas, some nevi, as well as normal melanocytes express GD3 antigen.
GD3 is one of the most important markers for malignant melanoma. Antibodies to the GD3 ganglioside can induce partial remission of tumor growth in animals as well as in humans via enhancement of cytotoxic and proliferative response of lymphocytes.
Anti-GD3 antibodies have been found in association with specific forms of Guillain-Barre syndrome. In vivo studies of isolated anti-GM1 and GD3 antibodies indicate the antibodies can interfere with motor neuron function.

Application
Anti-VIN-IS-56 Antibody, clone VIN-IS-56 detects level of VIN-IS-56 & has been published & validated for use in FC, IC, IH.
Immunohistochemistry & Immunocytochemistry:
Suggested fixatives: Paraformaldehyde is recommended, NOT methanol or acetone (the glycolipid antigen is extracted by polar lipid solvents).
Recommended antibody dilution: 10-20 μg/ml
Dilution Buffer: PBS + 4% FCS
Expected staining pattern: cell surface staining
FACS Analysis:
Suggested dilution/number of cells: 10-20 μg/ml for 1 x 105 cells
Fixation/Permeabilization used: Live cells or fixed in 4% Paraformaldehyde
Recommended controls: Undifferentiated human ES or EC cells stain weakly.
Immunoblotting:
Not tested
EIA:
Not tested
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

Biochem/physiol Actions
This monoclonal antibody recognizes a ganglioseries glycolipid, gangliosides GD3. Experimental evidence suggests that the expression of this antigen increases following human Embryonal Carcinoma and Embryonic Stem cell differentiation. It is thought that this antibody recognizes cells of the neuroectoderm lineage.
