CD117

Anti-human CD117 antibodies. These single-color reagents are of value to the study of progenitor cells and their precursors of all hematopoietic cell lineages.

CD117 has been shown to be a marker for tissue mast cells, haematopoietic stem cells, and progenitor cells in normal human bone marrow. The majority of CD117-positive marrow cells (50-70%) coexpress CD34 and comprise progenitor cells and their precursors of all haematopoietic lineages. Apart from mast cells, CD117 is essentially absent from mature haematopoietic cells.
