SOX10 and melanoma: Immunocytochemistry using antibodies against known melanocyte markers [2] showed that both epithelial and stromal melanocytes were positive for Melan-A (MART-1), CD117/c-Kit, the premelanosome marker HMB-45 (human melanoma black-45; PMEL [premelanosome protein]), the transcription factors MiTF (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor) and Sox10 (SRY-box transcription factor 10) as well as the proliferation marker Ki-67 (Figure 3B).
