Description | Anti-SCF Antibody was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity chromatography. Cross reactivity with SCF from other sources has not been determined. Stem cell factor (SCF) is the ligand of the c-Kit oncogene and is expressed by various structural and inflammatory cells in the airways. Binding of SCF by the c-Kit receptor leads to homodimerization of the receptor and the activation of signaling pathways such as PI-3, PLC-gamma, Jak/STAT, and MAP kinase pathways. SCF expression leads to the induction of mast cell survival and the expression and release of histamine, pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. The inhibition of the SCF/c-Kit pathway leads to a decrease in histamine levels, mast cell and eosinophil infiltration, IL-4 production and airway hyperresponsiveness, suggesting this pathway may be a useful therapeutic target in inflammatory diseases such as asthma. At least two isoforms of SCF are known to exist. |
Immunogen | Anti-SCF antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with an 18 amino acid synthetic peptide from near the internal region of human SCF. |
