Nestin (10C2) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody
Specialties: Dermatopathology
Nestin is a class VI intermediate filament (IF) protein. Nestin is expressed in neural progenitor cells during development of the central nervous system and peripheral nervous system. Cytoplasmic anti-nestin staining mostly occurs under pathological conditions. It has been reported that nestin expression is significantly increased in melanoma and correlated with more advanced stages of the disease.1 Nestin immunoreactivity is also reported in melanoma cells of HMB-45-negative amelanotic and melanotic, non-desmoplastic melanoma.2 Nestin is also useful in subclassifying breast carcinoma.4 Only cytoplasmic staining is considered positive, whereas any nuclear staining is considered as background artifact.
