DEDHAM, Mass., Dec. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Signet Laboratories, Inc., a leading medical diagnostics/research company specializing in the development of monoclonal antibodies and diagnostic assays for cancer, infectious disease, and neurodegenerative disease, today announced the availability of Cyclin D1, MITF, and PCNA.
Cyclin D1 clone DCS-6 is a cell cycle marker that has been extensively studied in certain types of cancer including lymphoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and breast carcinoma.
Micropthalmia transcription factor (MITF) clone D5 regulates the development and survival of melanocytes and retinal pigment epithelium. MITF is expressed in the majority of primary and metastatic epithelioid malignant melanomas.
Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen (PCNA) is expressed in proliferating cells in a variety of tissues. PCNA expression in tumors is not fully understood, but PCNA appears to be a valuable marker for breast, prostate and colon cancer.
