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. Pathogen Testing To protect mouse colonies from infection by pathogens and to assure that experimental preclinical data is not affected by such pathogens, all of Leinco’s Purified Functional PLATINUM™ antibodies are tested and guaranteed to be negative for all pathogens in the IDEXX IMPACT I Mouse Profile. 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.

Quality Tested by Leinco FC FC The suggested concentration for this HK2.1 antibody for staining cells in flow cytometry is ≤ .25 μg per 106 cells in a volume of 100 μl or 100μl of whole blood. Titration of the reagent is recommended for optimal performance for each application. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionDescriptionSpecificity 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. PubMed NCBI Gene Bank ID UniProt.org Research Area Immunology .

Please do not rely solely on its recommendations when making purchasing decisions or designing experiments. Common In Vivo Applications of Clone HK2.1 in MiceClone HK2.1 is a highly specific monoclonal antibody targeting the non-polymorphic determinant of mouse CD90 (Thy-1), a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored glycoprotein expressed on thymocytes, peripheral T cells, myoblasts, epidermal cells, and keratinocytes. Its in vivo utility is primarily due to its ultra-low endotoxin formulation, which is critical for experiments where antibody administration could otherwise trigger inflammatory responses.

Technical Details
Complementary ApplicationsWhile not a direct application of HK2.1, methods like CLoNe (which uses cell-type-specific Cre and plasmid vectors) can be combined with antibody-based approaches to target and manipulate specific progenitor populations in vivo, although CLoNe itself relies on genetic rather than antibody-based targeting. Summary Table: Key In Vivo Applications of Clone HK2.1
ConclusionClone HK2.1 is a versatile tool for in vivo studies in mice, principally for immune cell depletion, stem cell research, and investigations into cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth, owing to its high specificity, functional-grade formulation, and broad reactivity with CD90/Thy-1 variants. Its use is particularly valued in immunology, stem cell biology, and neurobiology research. Commonly used antibodies and proteins in the literature with HK2.1 (an anti-mouse CD90/Thy1 antibody) include other stem cell and immune markers such as CD34, CD45, and proteins involved in signal transduction or cell surface identification.

If you need details for a specific application (e.g., flow cytometry, immunohistochemistry), please specify for a more targeted answer. Clone HK2.1 is a monoclonal antibody that specifically recognizes mouse CD90 (Thy-1), a cell surface marker with important roles in various biological processes. Based on the available information, here are the key characteristics and applications of this clone: Specificity and RecognitionClone HK2.1 recognizes a non-polymorphic determinant on mouse CD90, meaning it binds to both Thy1.1 and Thy1.2 alloantigens regardless of their allelic differences. This broad recognition makes it a versatile tool for studying CD90 across different mouse strains. Target Molecule PropertiesCD90 is a 28-30 kD GPI-linked membrane glycoprotein belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. The protein plays several critical roles in cellular signaling and adhesion. It interacts with CD45 in signal transduction pathways and mediates the adhesion of thymocytes to thymic stroma. Additionally, CD90 binds with β2 and β3 integrins and is involved in regulating hematopoietic stem cell proliferation and differentiation, as well as controlling cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth. Research ApplicationsClone HK2.1 serves as a valuable marker for identifying various stem cell populations, particularly hematopoietic stem cells, and for detecting axonal processes of mature neurons. In flow cytometry applications, CD90 is frequently used as a surface marker for stem cells when combined with other markers such as CD34. The two mouse CD90 alleles differ by only one amino acid at position 108, where CD90.1 (Thy1.1) contains arginine and CD90.2 (Thy1.2) contains glutamine. The antibody is available in multiple formats including PerCP conjugates and purified functional grades suitable for in vivo applications, formulated in phosphate-buffered saline with appropriate preservatives. Published sources do not provide standardized or widely adopted dosing regimens for clone HK2.1 (anti-mouse CD90/Thy1) across mouse models. Manufacturers and antibody suppliers recommend consulting lot-specific datasheets for the most current dosing information, indicating that dosing regimens can vary based on experimental context, mouse strain, and application (e.g., depletion, blocking, detection).
