Abstract:
The technology described herein relates to assays and methods for the diagnosis, prognosis, and/or treatment of melanoma, e.g. relating to measuring the level of neurophilin-2 (NRP-2) mRNA expressed in melanoma cells. In some embodiments, the level of NRP-2 can be normalized to the level of Melan-A (MART) mRNA.
