The 5.8A antibody was made against recombinant mouse MyoD protein but it also recognizes human (myf3), rat, and cat homologs. The epitope of this antibody was mapped to a region within aa 180-189 of mouse MyoD (NP_002469).

In Rh-30, a ~45 kDa band should be observed.

There is considerable literature published using the MyoD, Clone 5.8A antibody. The original development publication of the MyoD antibody, Clone 5.8A showed that the antibody detected MyoD in rhabdomysosarcomas by IHC (frozen) but not in normal adult tissues (Dias, 1992) or normal fetal skeletal muscle. The 5.8A clone also detected MyoD1 in a subset of Wilms' tumors and one ectomesenchyoma, neoplasms known to contain myogenic elements. These results led to the concept in 1992 that the 5.8A clone may be useful for differentiating rhabdomyosarcomas from other soft tissue malignancies. However, as there has been a myriad of publications since Clone 5.8A was first described, users are encourage to consult the scientific literature citing Clone 5.8A to determine the suitability of the antibody for their model system.
