CD90.2 Rat anti-Mouse, FITC, Clone: 30-H12, BD

Description

• The 30-H12 clone has been reported to react with the CD90.2 (Thy-1.2) alloantigen on thymocytes, most peripheral T lymphocytes, some intraepithelial T lymphocytes (IEL, DEC), epithelial cells, fibroblasts, neurons, hematopoietic stem cells, but not B lymphocytes, of most mouse strains
• Thy-1.2 has also been initially reported to be detectable on thymic dendritic cells, but later revealed that the antigen was probably picked up from T-lineage cells
• 30-H12 mAb has been reported not to cross-react with Thy-1.1 (e.g., AKR/J, PL), or with rat Thy-1
• CD90 is a GPI-anchored membrane glycoprotein of the Ig superfamily which is involved in signal transduction
• In addition, there is evidence that CD90 mediates adhesion of thymocytes to thymic stroma
• It has been reported that crosslinked 30-H12 antibody induces Ca2+ influx into thymocytes and that co-crosslinking of 30-H12 mAb with antibody to the CD3/TCR complex intensifies thymocyte signal transduction, promotes apoptosis of thymocytes, and inhibits the CD3-mediated proliferative response of mature T lymphocytes
• This antibody is routinely tested by flow cytometric analysis
• Other applications were tested at BD Biosciences Pharmingen during antibody development only or reported in the literature
• Host Species: Rat Clone: 30-H12 Isotype: IgG2b κ Species Reactivity: Mouse Immunogen: Mouse Thymus / Spleen Flow Cytometry
