Mouse monoclonal [OX-7] antibody to CD90 / Thy1 (FITC).
Specificity
This antibody recognises rat and CD90, also known as Thy1.1, a GPI-anchored membrane protein containing a single V type Ig-like domain CD90 is expressed on a variety of cell types including thymocytes, neuronal cells, stem cells, immature B cells and connective tissues, CD90 is also expressed in T cells in mice.Since Thy1.1 is a monomorphic determinant in rat but polymorphic in mice, clone MRC OX-7 reacts with Thy1.1 mice e.g. AKR and FVB, but not Thy1.2 mice such as CBA and BALB/c. The affinity of the Fab′ of MRC OX-7 for rat Thy1 is 3 x 109m-1 and for mouse Thy1.1 is 3 x 108m-1(1). Mouse anti rat CD90, clone MRC OX-7 has been demonstrated to promote neurite outgrowths on peripherin-stained sympathetic rat neurons, using fluorescence microscopy. Clone OX-7 has also been reported to induce glomerular nephritis in Wistar rats. This product is routinely tested in flow cytometry on rat thymocytes.

Mouse anti Rat CD90 antibody, clone OX-7 recognizes rat and CD90, also known as Thy1.1, a GPI-anchored membrane protein containing a single V type Ig-like domain CD90 is expressed on a variety of cell types including thymocytes, neuronal cells, stem cells, immature B cells and connective tissues, CD90 is also expressed in T cells in mice.

The affinity of the Fab′ of MRC OX-7 for rat Thy1 is 3 x 109m-1 and for mouse Thy1.1 is 3 x 108m-1(1).Mouse anti rat CD90, clone MRC OX-7 has been demonstrated to promote neurite outgrowths on peripherin-stained sympathetic rat neurons, using fluorescence microscopy (Jeng et al. 1998). Clone OX-7 has also been reported to induce glomerular nephritis in Wistar rats (Tamura et al. 1996).This product is routinely tested in flow cytometry on rat thymocytes.
