CD90 (Thy-1) Monoclonal Antibody (G7), eBioscience™, Invitrogen™

Beskrivning

Description: The G7 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse CD90 also known as Thy-1, a GPI-linked membrane molecule. CD90 is expressed by early hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow, thymocytes and mature T cells as well as neurons. CD90 is involved in regulation of adhesion and signal transduction by T cells. G7 is reported to induce TCR-mediated proliferation of T cell and apoptosis of thymocytes. Applications Reported: The G7 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis, and immunohistochemical staining. G7 has also been reported in functional studies. (Please use Functional Grade purified G7, cat. 16-0901, in functional assays.). Applications Tested: The G7 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse splenocytes and can be used at less than or equal to 0.125 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. Purity: Greater than 90%, as determined by SDS-PAGE. Aggregation: Less than 10%, as determined by HPLC. Filtration: 0.2 μm post-manufacturing filtered.

CD90 (Thy 1) antigen is a GPI linked glycoprotein member of the Immunoglobulin super family. It is expressed in murine T cells, thymocytes, neural cells, Kupffer′s cells and fibroblasts. Thy 1 may play a role in cell-cell or cell-ligand interactions during synaptogenesis and other events in the brain.
