• Target description: Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (UniProt: P49771; also known as Flt3 ligand, Flt3L, FL, SL cytokine) is encoded by the FLT3LG gene (Gene ID: 2323) in human. Flt3-ligand is an important regulator of hematopoiesis that synergizes with a number of colony-stimulating factors and interleukins. It is expressed on myeloid, lymphoid, and dendritic cell progenitors. Expression of its receptor is restricted only to hematopoietic progenitors, early B cells and myeloid cells. Binding of Flt3-ligand to its receptor (Flt3) leads to receptor homodimerization and subsequent conformational changes that result in phosphorylation of its tyrosine kinase domains. This leads to rapid activation of receptor, its internalization, downstream actions, and degradation. Administration of Flt-3 ligand to mice is shown to cause a significant expansion of both CD8 + and CD8 dendritic cells at multiple sites, including spleen, lymph nodes, thymus, liver, lung, and bone marrow. Three isoforms of Flt3 have been described that are produced by alternative splicing. Isoform one is a single-pass type I membrane protein, isoform 2 is a homodimeric secreted or extracellular protein, and isoform 3 lacks the first 82 amino acids. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.
• Reconstitution: 300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
• Storage and Stability: Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
