| Reconstitution |
It is recommended that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute the lyophilized powder in ddH₂O or PBS up to 100 μg/ml. |
| Storage & Stability |
Upon receiving, this product remains stable for up to 6 months at lower than -70°C. Upon reconstitution, the product should be stable for up to 1 week at 4°C or up to 3 months at -20°C. For long term storage it is recommended that a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) be added. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Target Background |
Flt3L, also known as Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand and SL cytokine, is a single-pass type I membrane protein. It is expressed by stromal cells and T cells. Flt3L signals through tyrosine kinase receptor Flt3/Flk2 to stimulate the proliferation of early hematopoietic progenitor cells. It synergizes with other growth factors, such as GM-CSF, IL-3 and CSF, to promote the differentiation of both myeloid and lymphoid cells. Alternative splicing and proteolytic cleavage of membrane-bound Flt3L generates a soluble extracellular domain (ECD) isoform with full biological activity. |
