Reference: J:18760 Yamazaki M, et al., C-kit gene is expressed by skin mast cells in embryos but not in puppies of Wsh/Wsh mice: age-dependent abolishment of c-kit gene expression. Blood. 1994 Jun 15;83(12):3509-16
Assay type: Immunohistochemistry
MGI Accession ID: MGI:4360070
Gene symbol: Kit
Gene name: Kit proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase
Antibody: anti-CD117 (clone ACK2) (CBL1360)
Detection system: Biotinylated secondary antibody/[Strept]avidin coupled to horseradish peroxidase
Assay notes: The sections were fixed with ice-cold methanol-acetone (1:1).
Results
