AHP770 is specific for the ubiquitously expressed human growth factor Flt3-Ligand (Flt3L), a 235aa type I transmembrane glycoprotein which regulates the proliferation of early haematopoietic cells.
Flt3L exists in both a membrane-bound and proteolytically cleaved soluble isoform, both of which are biologically active, and initiates cell proliferation/ differentiation signalling in co-operation with other colony stimulating factors (CSFs) and interleukins, by binding to and activating the tyrosine kinase receptor Flt3 (FLT3R), expressed highly by hematopoietic progenitor cells and stem cells.

Where this product has not been tested for use in a particular technique this does not necessarily exclude its use in such procedures. Suggested working dilutions are given as a guide only. It is recommended that the user titrates the product for use in their own system using appropriate negative/positive controls.
Storage
Prior to reconstitution store at +4oC.
After reconstitution store at -20oC.
Storage in frost-free freezers is not recommended. This product should be stored undiluted. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing as this may denature the antibody. Should this product contain a precipitate we recommend microcentrifugation before use.
Shelf Life
12 months from date of reconstitution.
Antiserum Preparation
Antisera to human Flt3-Ligand were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG prepared by affinity chromatography.
AHP770 may be used in an indirect ELISA system or as a capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA for human Flt3L in combination withAHP770Bas the detection antibody.
