• Specificity: Clone 1I8 is a ZooMAb® rabbit recombinant monoclonal antibody that specifically detects c-Kit/CD117. It targets an epitope within 23 amino acids from the extracellular domain within the N-terminal region.
• Immunogen: KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to 23 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human c-Kit/CD117.
• Application: Quality Control TestingEvaluated by Western Blotting in TF-1 cell lysate.Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution of this antibody detected c-Kit/CD117 in TF-1 cell lysate.Tested Applications Western Blotting Analysis: A 1:1,000 dilution from a representative lot detected c-Kit/CD117 in Human brain tissue lysate.Affinity Binding Assay: A representative lot of this antibody bound CD117/c-Kit peptide with a KD of 2.9 x 10-6 in an affinity binding assay.Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected c-Kit/CD117 in Human gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) tissue sections.Note: Actual optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user as specimens, and experimental conditions may vary with the end user.
• Target description: Mast/stem cell growth factor receptor Kit (UniProt: P10721; also known as EC: 2.7.10.1, SCFR, Piebald trait protein, PBT, Proto-oncogene c-Kit, Tyrosine-protein kinase Kit, p145 c-kit, v-kit Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma viral oncogene homolog) is encoded by the KIT (also known as SCFR) gene (Gene ID: 3815) in human. c-Kit is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein that is synthesized with a signal peptide (aa 1-25), which is subsequently cleaved off to generate the mature form that contains an extracellular domain (aa 26-524), a transmembrane domain (aa 525-545), and a cytoplasmic domain (aa 546-976). c-Kit has tyrosine protein kinase activity and serves as a cell-surface receptor for the stem cell factor (SCF)/KITLG. It plays a significant role in the regulation of cell survival, cell proliferation, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, and other functions. In response to SCF binding, c-Kit can activate several signaling pathways. In the absence of bound stem cell factor (SCF)
• Physical form: Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 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.
