Formulation
This monoclonal antibody is aseptically packaged and formulated in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (150 mM NaCl) PBS pH 7.2 - 7.4 with no carrier protein, potassium, calcium or preservatives added. Due to inherent biochemical properties of antibodies, certain products may be prone to precipitation over time. Precipitation may be removed by aseptic centrifugation and/or filtration.
Product Preparation
Functional grade preclinical antibodies are manufactured in an animal free facility using in vitro cell culture techniques and are purified by a multi-step process including the use of protein A or G to assure extremely low levels of endotoxins, leachable protein A or aggregates.
Storage and Handling
Functional grade preclinical antibodies may be stored sterile as received at 2-8°C for up to one month. For longer term storage, aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at ≤ -70°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Description

Description

Specificity
Clone HK2.1 recognizes a non-polymorphic determinant on mouse CD90 (Thy1.1 and Thy1.2 alloantigens).
Background
CD90 is a 28-30 kD GPI-linked membrane glycoprotein and is part of the Ig superfamily. It interacts with CD45 in signal transduction. CD90 mediates adhesion of thymocytes to thymic stroma. It has been reported that CD90 binds with β2 and β3 integrins and is involved in the inhibition of hematopoietic stem cells proliferation and differentiation, as well as the regulation of cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth. It can be used as a marker for various stem cells, such as hematopoietic stem cells, and for the axonal processes of mature neurons. For use in FACS, CD90 is a popular surface marker for stem cells in combination with other markers such as CD34. There are two alleles for CD90 in mice that differ by one amino acid. The difference being that CD90.1 (Thy1.1) has an arginine and CD90.2 (Thy1.2) has a glutamine at position 108. CD90.2 is more prevalent and is expressed in most mice strains. CD90.1 is only expressed by a select few mice strains including AKR/J and PL strains. CD90.2 is a 25-35 kD GPI-anchored membrane glycoprotein. Like CD90, it is also in the Ig superfamily, interacts with CD45, and has involvement in signal transduction. The function of CD90.2 is thought to play roles in cognition, axon growth, T lymphocyte function, and apoptosis. CD90 acts as tumor suppressor for some tumors due to its action in upregulating thrombospondin, SPARC (osteonectin), and fibronectin. On the other hand, it has been suspected to aid in the spread of circulating melanoma cells. Regarding prostate cancer, CD90 has therapeutic potential for specific drug targeting due to its expression in cancer associated stroma, but not in normal stroma.
Antigen Distribution
CD90 is expressed by thymocytes, peripheral T cells, myoblasts, epidermal cells, and keratinocytes.

Clone HK2.1 is a rat monoclonal antibody that targets mouse CD90 (Thy-1) and is commonly used in vivo in mice for several key applications, primarily related to T cell biology and stem cell research.

Common in vivo applications of clone HK2.1 in mice include:

  • Cell depletion: Used to remove CD90+ cell populations (mainly T cells), allowing researchers to study the effects of T cell loss or depletion in immunological and disease models.
  • Functional blockade: Applied to inhibit CD90 (Thy-1) signaling or adhesion, thus blocking downstream cellular interactions or pathways.
  • Disease modeling: Facilitates studies of fibrosis, cancer, and neuronal injury by manipulating or monitoring CD90+ cells in pathophysiological contexts.
  • Flow cytometry (FACS): Provides a tool for the detection and analysis of CD90+ cells, including T cells, thymocytes, and stem cell subsets, both for in vivo tracking and ex vivo analysis.

Supporting context:

  • Clone HK2.1 recognizes a non-polymorphic determinant on murine CD90, enabling its use across different mouse strains (Thy1.1 and Thy1.2).
  • In functional studies, it can be used to analyze CD90’s role in cell adhesion, stem cell regulation, and neuronal processes.
  • Applications also include use as a marker in stem cell biology (e.g., hematopoietic stem cells, neural progenitors).
  • The antibody is formulated for in vivo use (ultra low endotoxin), supporting direct administration in living animals.

Summary of main in vivo research uses:

  • T cell (or other CD90+ cell) depletion and functional studies
  • Modeling immune or non-immune disease states
  • Tracking, isolating, or depleting stem/progenitor cells

These diverse uses make clone HK2.1 a fundamental tool for dissecting the biology of CD90+ cell populations in mouse models.

HK2.1 is a monoclonal antibody that targets mouse CD90 (Thy-1), often used in research involving stem cells and cancer. While there is no specific literature detailing antibodies or proteins commonly used with HK2.1, I can provide some insights based on related research:

  1. CD90 (Thy-1): This marker is often used in combination with other stem cell markers like CD34 for identifying and isolating specific cell populations.

  2. CD45: This marker interacts with CD90 in signal transduction processes and is frequently used in studies involving immune cells.

  3. HK2 (Hexokinase 2): Although not directly paired with HK2.1, Hexokinase 2 is a protein of interest in cancer research, particularly in metabolic studies and as a potential therapeutic target.

  4. HK2 (Human Kallikrein 2): This serine protease is studied in the context of prostate cancer and may be paired with other markers or antibodies in research involving prostate-specific antigens.

In summary, while HK2.1 itself is primarily used for its specificity to CD90, research involving other markers like CD34, CD45, and proteins such as Hexokinase 2 or Human Kallikrein 2 might intersect with studies employing HK2.1, particularly in cancer or stem cell research contexts.

The key findings regarding clone HK2.1 in scientific literature are limited and mainly relate to its use as an anti-mouse CD90 (Thy-1) antibody for in vivo and in vitro immunological research, particularly in murine models. There is no evidence in the search results of clone HK2.1 being directly cited in high-impact publications for specific biological discoveries beyond its use as a reagent.

Key points regarding clone HK2.1:

  • Clone HK2.1 is an antibody directed against mouse CD90 (Thy-1), a cell surface glycoprotein expressed on thymocytes, mature T cells, neurons, and other cell types in mice.
  • It is functionally validated for in vivo and in vitro applications, primarily to identify, deplete, or track CD90+ cells in mouse studies.
  • There are no citations in high-profile scientific literature highlighted in the search results that describe novel findings or specific discoveries made using clone HK2.1 as a central methodological tool. It is referenced mainly as a standard reagent for immunological assays or animal experiments.
  • Alternative clones, such as M5/49.4.1, are sometimes compared or used interchangeably for similar purposes in immunological research.

Summary:
Clone HK2.1 is widely used as a technical antibody tool for mouse CD90 (Thy-1) research; however, its citations are predominantly in the context of experimental methods rather than as the basis for major biological findings or discoveries. If you are seeking specific landmark studies or applications enabled by clone HK2.1, the literature does not currently provide prominent examples.

If you were referring to a different target (such as HK2 or hK2), please clarify to enable a more targeted review.

The search results do not provide specific information on how dosing regimens of clone HK2.1 vary across different mouse models. Clone HK2.1 is an antibody used to recognize the non-polymorphic determinant on mouse CD90 (Thy1.1 and Thy1.2 alloantigens) and is involved in various biological processes, including cell adhesion and regulation of hematopoietic stem cells. For detailed dosing regimens, one would typically need to consult product-specific datasheets or research studies that use this antibody in different mouse models.

In general, dosing regimens for antibodies in mouse models can vary based on factors such as the target population, mouse strain, and experimental design. Doses can range significantly depending on the application and desired outcome, such as immune cell depletion or modulation of immune responses. However, specific dosing regimens for clone HK2.1 will depend on the specific research goals and model being used.
