app notes :
FLOW CYTOMETRY ANALYSIS: . 1. Prepare a cell suspension in media A. For cell preparations, deplete the red blood cell population with Lympholyte-M cell separation medium. 2. Wash 2 times. 3. Resuspend the cells to a concentration of 2x10^7 cells/ml in media A. Add 50ul of this suspension to each tube (each tube will then contain 1x10^6 cells, representing 1 test). 4. To each tube, add 1.0ug* per cell 10^6 cells. 5. Vortex the tubes to ensure thorough mixing of antibody and cells. 6. Incubate the tubes for 30 minutes at 4 deg. C. (It is recommended that the tubes are protected from light, since most fluorochromes are light sensitive. 7. Wash 2 times at 4 deg. C. 8. Resuspend the cell pellet in 50ul ice cold media B. 9. Transfer to suitable tubes for flow cytometric analysis containing 15 ul of propidium iodide at 0.5 mg/ml in PBS. This stains dead cells by intercalating in DNA. Media:. A. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 5% normal serum of host species + sodium azide (100 ul of 2M sodium azide in 100mls). B. Phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.2) + 0.5% Bovine serum albumin + sodium azide (100 ul of 2M sodium azide in 100mls). Strain Distribution by Flow Cytometry Analysis: . Cell concentration : 1x10^6 cells per test. Antibody Concentration Used: 1.0ug/10^6 cells Strain Tested: AKR, BALB/c, C3H/He, C57BL/6. Positive: AKR, BALB/c, C3H/He, C57BL/6. Negative: None

products description :
anti-mouse CD117 monoclonal antibody recognizes the receptor tyrosine kinase, c-kit. The ligand for this receptor is steel factor (stem cell factor), which exists in both soluble and membrane form. The interaction between steel factor and c-kit is essential for the development of hematopoietic, gonadal and pigment stem cells. c-kit positive cells are a subset of CD34+ hematopoietic precursor cells and it is expressed on 5-10% of total adult bone marrow cells. Applications: flow cytometry
