This antibody recognizes a protein of 145kD identified as CD117/p145kit. In normal cells, the CD117 antibody has been shown to label breast epithelium, germ cells, melanocytes, stem cells and mast cells. In abnormal cells, it has been shown to label testicular germ cells, endometrial carcinomas, papillary and follicular thyroid carcinomas, small cell carcinomas, melanomas and ovarian epithelial carcinomas. It has also been shown to be an effective marker for mast cell disorders, gastrointestinal stromal tumors and immunotyping of blasts in human bone marrow.
