Protocol
Specificity / Sensitivity
Thy1/CD90 (D3V8A) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total Thy1/CD90 protein.
Species Reactivity:
Human, Mouse, Rat
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val62 of human Thy1/CD90 protein.
Background
The Thy1/CD90 cell surface antigen is a GPI-anchored, developmentally regulated protein involved in signaling cascades that mediate neurite outgrowth, T cell activation, tumor suppression, apoptosis, and fibrosis (1). Thy1/CD90 is highly expressed on the surface of adult neurons and is thought to play a role in modulating adhesive and migratory events, such as neurite extension (1,2). Decreased Thy1/CD90 mRNA and protein expression is associated with the development of epithelial ovarian cancer, suggesting a role as a putative tumor suppressor gene of human ovarian cancer (3,4). Research studies indicate that Thy1/CD90 knockout mice have impaired cutaneous immune responses and abnormal retinal development (5,6). Thy1/CD90 is epigenetically regulated or deregulated in some disease states, such as pulmonary fibrosis. The potentially reversible hypermethylation of the Thy1/CD90 promoter offers the possibility of novel therapeutic options in this disease (7).
