KIT protein-coupled magnetic MicroBeads

• Cat.No.: KIT-563M

Specification

• Species: Mouse
• Capacity: for 1×10^9 total cells
• Background: CD117 (c-kit) is a receptor tyrosine kinase expressed on the majority of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, on some tissue stem cells as well as mature mast cells. Stimulation of CD117 by its ligand, the cytokine stem cell factor (SCF), is important for stem cell survival and maintance.
• Application: Further flow cytometric analysis or sorting of isolated CD117+ cells, e.g. into LSK populations.
  Transplantation of CD117+ bone marrow cells, e.g. after myocardial infarction for differentiation into smooth muscle cells, myocytes, and endothelial cells.
