Can be used to discriminate between malignant cutaneous melanoma and nevocellular nevi. PAL-M1 recognizes the transferrin receptor (TFR, CD71), a marker for tumor progression in the melanocytic lineage and stains the majority of primary melanomas and their metastases. Local staining of dysplastic nevocellular nevi may be observed. Common nevocel­lular nevi rarely stain. Excellent marker for neoplastic progression of melanocytic proliferation.
