Applications/Dilutions

• Dilutions:
  • ELISA 2-4 ug/ml
  • Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin 1-2 ug/ml
• Application Notes: ELISA: 2-4ug/ml For coating, order Ab without BSA
  
  Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed): 1-2ug/ml for 30 minutes. at RT. Staining of formalin-fixed tissues requires heating tissue sections in 10mM Tris with 1mM EDTA, pH 9.0, for 45 min at 95C followed by cooling at RT for 20 minutes.
  
  Optimal dilution for a specific application should be determined.

Background

CD117 is a 145 kD immunoglobulin superfamily member, also known as c-Kit and stem cell factor receptor (SCFR). It is a transmembrane tyrosine-kinase receptor that binds the c-Kit ligand (also known as steel factor, stem cell factor, and mast cell growth factor). CD117 is expressed on hematopoietic stem cells (including multipotent hematopoietic stem cells, progenitors committed to myeloid and/or erythroid lineages, and T and B cell precursors), mast cells, and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells. CD117 interaction with it's ligand is critical for the development of hematopoietic stem cells. The 2B8 antibody does not block c-Kit activity.
