The Mouse CD117 Monoclonal Antibody (APC Conjugated, 2B8) is a vital tool for researchers investigating CD117, a cell surface marker commonly used to identify and isolate hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells. This monoclonal antibody, derived from mouse sources, exhibits a high affinity for CD117 and is conjugated to allophycocyanin (APC) for easy detection in flow cytometry applications.CD117, also known as c-kit or stem cell factor receptor, is a transmembrane protein involved in various cellular processes, including cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation.
Its expression pattern makes it a key target for studies in hematopoiesis, oncology, and regenerative medicine. By specifically recognizing CD117, this antibody enables precise analysis of cell populations expressing this important marker, facilitating advancements in stem cell research, cancer therapy, and other fields requiring precise identification of CD117-positive cells.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. The amount of the reagent is suggested to be used 5 µL of antibody per test (million cells in 100 µL staining volume or per 100 µL of whole blood). Please check your vial before the experiment. Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use.

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 its ligand is critical for the development of hematopoietic stem cells.
