Applications

Recommended Concentration
Sample
Western Blot
0.1 µg/mL
Recombinant Human Flt‑3 Ligand/FLT3L (Catalog # 308-FK)
Neutralization
Measured by its ability to neutralize Flt‑3 Ligand/FLT3L-induced proliferation in BaFlt3 mouse pro‑B cell line transfected with mouse Flt‑3. Hannum, C. et al. (1994) Nature 368:643. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 20-250 ng/mL in the presence of 5 ng/mL Recombinant Human Flt‑3 Ligand/FLT3L.

Please Note: Optimal dilutions should be determined by each laboratory for each application. General Protocols are available in the Technical Information section on our website.

Cell Proliferation Induced by Flt-3 Ligand/FLT3L and Neutralization by Human Flt-3 Ligand/FLT3L Antibody. Recombinant Human Flt-3 Ligand/FLT3L (Catalog # 308-FK) stimulates proliferation in BaFlt3 mouse pro-B cell line transfected with mouse Flt-3 in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Human Flt-3 Ligand/FLT3L (5 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human Flt-3 Ligand/FLT3L Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-308-NA). The ND50 is typically 20‑250 ng/mL.

Background: Flt-3 Ligand/FLT3L

Flt-3 Ligand, also known as FL, is an alpha -helical cytokine that promotes the differentiation of multiple hematopoietic cell lineages (1‑3). Mature human Flt-3 Ligand consists of a 158 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with a cytokine-like domain and a juxtamembrane tether region, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 30 aa cytoplasmic tail (4‑7). Within the ECD, human Flt-3 Ligand shares 71% and 65% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat Flt-3 Ligand, respectively. Human and mouse Flt-3 Ligand show cross-species activity (4‑6). Flt-3 Ligand is expressed as a noncovalently-linked dimer by T cells and bone marrow and thymic fibroblasts (1, 8). Each 36 kDa chain carries approximately 12 kDa of N- and O-linked carbohydrates (8). Alternate splicing and proteolytic cleavage of the transmembrane form can generate a soluble 30 kDa fragment that includes the cytokine domain (4, 8). Alternate splicing of human Flt-3 Ligand also generates membrane-associated isoforms that contain either a truncated cytoplasmic tail or an 85 aa substitution following the cytokine domain (4, 5, 8). Both transmembrane and soluble Flt-3 Ligand signal through the tyrosine kinase receptor Flt-3/Flk-2 (3, 4, 6, 7). Flt-3 Ligand induces the expansion of monocytes and immature dendritic cells as well as early B cell lineage differentiation (2, 9). It synergizes with IL-3, GM-CSF, and SCF to promote the mobilization and myeloid differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells (4‑6). It cooperates with IL-2, -6, -7, and -15 to induce NK cell development and with IL-3, -7, and -11 to induce terminal B cell maturation (1, 10). Animal studies also show Flt‑3 Ligand to reduce the severity of experimentally induced allergic inflammation (11).
