A mouse was immunized with tissue derived from human melanoma metastases. After fusing the spleen cells from this mouse with myeloma cells, antibody-producing cells were screened on thin sections of various human tissues. Clone PAL-M1 was identified that produced antibodies staining malignant melanomas.

Specification:
Antibody PAL-M1 stains the majority of primary melanomas and the large majority of metastases and is directed against the transferrin receptor (CD71). Local staining of dysplastic nevocellular nevi may be observed. Common nevocellular nevi rarely stain.
