Thy-1: More than a Mouse Pan-T Cell Marker

Thy-1: more than a mouse pan-T cell marker.

Thy-1 (CD90) is a small GPI-anchored protein that is particularly abundant on the surface of mouse thymocytes and peripheral T cells. T cell proliferation and cytokine synthesis in response to Thy-1 cross-linking by specific mAb suggests a role for Thy-1 in mouse T lymphocyte activation. However, a physiological ligand or counterreceptor for murine Thy-1 in the lymphoid compartment has not yet ...

oct-4: more than a pluripotent marker?

received: 23/sep/2008, accepted: 23/nov/2008oct-4/ pou5f1/ oct-3, a pou domain family protein acts as a crucial transcription factor dur- ing embryonic development. it helps in maintenance of self renewal as well as pluripotential state of embryonic stem (es) cells. its expression starts right from 2 cell stage especially prior to 8 cell stage till the blastocyst stage where it is strongly exp...

THY 1 ( Thy - 1 cell surface antigen )

Transcription of THY1 is initiated at multiple sites producing an approximately 5591 bp transcript. After splicing, the transcript is reduced to 2143 bp. Transcriptional regulation for tissue-specific expression of Thy-1, as well as for controlling expression in cell sub-populations, and in some cancers, is governed by a number of mechanisms. For tissue-specific transcriptional regulation, the ...
