I want to stain human paraffin section of melanoma. I need marker that stain only the fibroblast and not the melanoma. for example, vimentin stain some of the melanoma so its not good for me.
There are numerous markers to identify dermal fibroblasts which exist in papillary and reticular dermis.The pan-fibroblast marker platelet derived growth factor receptor alpha (PDGFRa) is expressed in both papillary and reticular dermis. While CD26 is a typical marker of papillary dermis, Dlk1 is a typical cell marker of reticular dermis.
