Description | The CD117/c-kit antigen is the cell-surface receptor for Stem Cell Factor (SCF). Together these molecules constitute a ligand/receptor pair which functions to maintain normal hematopoiesis in the adult. A variety of cytokines act synergistically with SCF to stimulate proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow progenitor cells. For example, SCF plus IL-7 can stimulate the combined myeloid and B-cell differentiation of uncommitted hematopoietic progenitor cells.2 SCF/c-kit also participates in erythropoiesis in both the bone marrow and spleen. Anti-CD117 mAbs have been used to block the function of the c-kit receptor in a variety of studies. These include the blockade of hematopoiesis. |
