Product Name:

APC anti-human CD117 (c-kit)

Catalog Number:

313206

This antibody was used as part of a flow cytometry panel to identify cells isolated from human synovial tissue by enzymatic digestion. In particular this antibody was used due to the conjugate working well with other pre-selected antibodies.

Experimental Design and Results Summary

Applications

Flow Cytometry

Sample

Human synovial cells

Primary Incubation

30 minute incubation at 4oC. Live/dead stain. Antibody used at 5ug/ml.

Blocking Agent

No specific blocking step. 2% FCS in staining buffer.

Secondary Incubation

30 minute incubation at 4oC. Antibody cocktail used at this point containing anti-CD117 at 5ug/ml.

Tertiary Incubation

NA

Detection

BD LSR X-20 Fortessa. Analysis using FlowJo v10

Results Summary

The antibody worked well detecting CD117 positive cells in a difficult population of cells to stain. The background was little even given the 'sticky' nature of the cells yielded from the synovial digest.

Additional Notes

None

Summary

The Good

Antibody worked well on difficult cells.

The Bad

Unable to decrease antibody working concentration from suggested starting concentration.

The Bottom Line

The antibody performed as a good antibody should with little non-specific binding.
