The polymerization of melanin: a poorly understood phenomenon with egregious biological implications.

abstract：:Intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1 and mucin isotype MUC18 were originally identified as melanoma progression antigens by monoclonal antibodies (MAb) generated in a search for molecules expressed by melanomas but not detectable on benign naevi. As MAb detect single epitopes whose accessibility may be modulated, ...
