| Specificity Statement: | This antibody binds melanin. Melanin is a natural pigment found in most organisms is produced in a specialized group of cells called the melanocytes. |
| Application Notes: | Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is the agent of the human systemic disease paracoccidioidomycosis. The binding characterization of this antibody towards melanin from various organisms was done using ELISA. This antibody was also used in the immunofluorescence analysis of P. brasiliensis melanized yeast cells (with l-DOPA induction) and wild-type conidia (PMID: 21813659). 213Bismuth and 177Lutetium labelled humanized 8C3 antibody was used in the radioimmunotherapy (RIT) of experimental B16-F10 melanoma (PMID: 31323785). It was demonstrated that a combination of humanized anti-melanin antibody conjugated to 213Bismuth and anti-PD-1 ICB reduced tumor growth and increased survival in the Cloudman S91 murine melanoma DBA/2 mouse model (PMID: 31991626). Male Cloudman S91-bearing DBA/2 mice when treated intraperitoneally with a combination of anti-PD-1 alone or low-dose humanized anti-melanin antibody conjugated to177Lutetium RIT alone resulted in modest tumor reduction, while their combination significantly reduced tumor growth and increased survival, suggesting synergy (PMID: 33218169). |
