- Extra Details:
- The CD117/c-kit antigen is the cell-surface receptor for Stem Cell Factor (SCF). Together these molecules constitute a ligand/receptor pair which functions to maintain normal hematopoiesis in the adult.1-3 Signaling through SCF/c-kit has an important role in stimulating myeloid and erythroid production of primitive hematopoietic progenitor cells.2 A variety of cytokines act synergistically with SCF to stimulate proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow progenitor cells. For example, SCF plus IL-7 can stimulate the combined myeloid and B-cell differentiation of uncommitted hematopoietic progenitor cells.2 SCF/c-kit also participates in erythropoiesis in both the bone marrow and spleen.1 Loss-of-function mutations for SCF/c-kit lead to a variety of pleiotropic developmental defects, while gain-of-function mutations can lead to constitutive activation of the kit receptor and links to cancer.3 Examples of the former are mast cell deficiency and severe macrocytic anemia, while the latter mutation has been identified in mastocytomas.3 Anti-CD117 mAbs have been used to block the function of the c-kit receptor in a variety of studies. These include the blockade of hematopoiesis1, 4 and disruption of melanocyte development.5 Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: ≤ 0.2ug/10e6 cells Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: PE conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap.
