      Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD117
      Purified Rat Anti-Mouse CD117
      Two-color analysis of the expression of CD117 on mouse bone marrow cells. A single-cell suspension of BALB/c bone marrow was simultaneously stained with FITC-conjugated RA3-6B2 (anti-mouse CD45R/B220, Cat. No. 553087/553088, both panels) and purified ACK45 (right panel) monoclonal antibodies, followed by biotinylated anti-rat IgG2b mAb RG7/11.1 (Cat. No. 553898, both panels) then Streptavidin-PE (Cat. No. 554061, both panels). Flow cytometry was performed on a FACScan™ (BDIS, San Jose, CA).

      Product Notices

      1. Since applications vary, each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results.
      2. Please refer to www.bdbiosciences.com/us/s/resources for technical protocols.
      3. Caution: Sodium azide yields highly toxic hydrazoic acid under acidic conditions. Dilute azide compounds in running water before discarding to avoid accumulation of potentially explosive deposits in plumbing.
      4. Sodium azide is a reversible inhibitor of oxidative metabolism; therefore, antibody preparations containing this preservative agent must not be used in cell cultures nor injected into animals. Sodium azide may be removed by washing stained cells or plate-bound antibody or dialyzing soluble antibody in sodium azide-free buffer. Since endotoxin may also affect the results of functional studies, we recommend the NA/LE (No Azide/Low Endotoxin) antibody format, if available, for in vitro and in vivo use.

      ACK45

      The ACK45 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD117 (c-Kit), a transmembrane tyrosine-kinase receptor which is encoded by the Kit gene (formerly dominant white spotting, W). The c-Kit ligand (also known as steel factor, stem cell factor, and mast-cell growth factor) encoded by the Kitl gene (formerly steel, Sl), is a co-mitogen for hematopoietic stem cells and the myeloerythroid progenitors and a mast-cell differentiation factor. The Kit[W] and Kitl[Sl] mutant alleles have similar pleiotropic effects on the development of melanocytes, germ cells, and the hematopoietic system. In the adult bone marrow, CD117 is expressed on hematopoietic progenitor cells, including the CD90 (Thy-1)[lo] TER-119[-] CD45R/B220[-] CD11b (Mac-1)[-] Ly-6G (Gr-1)[-] CD4[-] CD8[-] Sca-1 (Ly-6A/E)[+] multipotent hematopoietic stem cells, progenitors committed to myeloid and/or erythroid lineages, and precursors of B and T lymphocytes. This widespread expression of CD117 in hematopoietic precursors is consistent with the participation of c-Kit and its ligand in the regulation of several hematopoietic lineages. Intrathymic expression of c-Kit and c-Kit ligand suggest that CD117 is also involved in the regulation of some events during the development of T lymphocytes. CD117 is also expressed by mast cells. The expression of CD117 has been included in protocols to isolate hematopoietic progenitors from fetal and adult peripheral blood. The specificity and functional activity of mAb ACK45 is very similar to that of the published antibody ACK22; it is reported to block the action of c-Kit in vitro and in vivo.

      This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis. Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature.

      Purified
      Tissue culture supernatant is purified by either protein A/G or affinity purification methods. Both methods yield antibody in solution that is free of most other soluble proteins, lipids, etc. This format provides pure antibody that is suitable for a number of downstream applications including: secondary labeling for flow cytometry or microscopy, ELISA, Western blot, etc.
