| Definition |
Melanoma-associated antigen A4 (MAGE-A4) antibody is a qualitative immunohistochemical antibody, intended for use in the detection of MAGE-A4 protein expression in human clinical tissue specimens. The MAGE A4 antibody is indicated as an aid in identifying patients eligible for treatment with specific FDA approved therapeutic drugs. |
| Physical State |
The device includes a monoclonal primary antibody and accessory reagents, including secondary antibodies, buffers, substrates, and counterstains. The device may be intended for manual or automated staining methods. |
| Technical Method |
The test uses a primary monoclonal antibody to detect the presence of expressed antigen protein in fixed tissue specimens. Antibody-antigen complexes are visualized using an enzyme conjugated primary or secondary antibody to catalyze a color-producing reaction. |
| Target Area |
