**Thy1/CD90**
	[[Image:{{{image}}}\|300px\| ]]; {{{caption}}}
Records:	Smallest member of the immunoglobulin family; Led to the discovery and characterization of GPI anchor; Most abundant glycoprotein on muouse T cells, with >106 copies/cell, covering ~10–20% of surface.; one of the most heavily glycosylated membrane proteins (carbohydrate content ~30%);
useful applications:	Very useful specific marker for: Hematopoietic stem cells (FACS gated as Thy1lo); Mesenchymal stem cells; Distiction between cells from Thy1.1 and Thy 1.2 mouse strains.; ; Its promoter has been used as a "brain specific" expression promoter for making transgenic mice.; Thy1 is a pan T cell antigen in mice.; Thy1 antibody injection is the best animal model of glomerulonephritis;
Inportance in the cell:

Where the resulte show 11q23.3, THY1 to 11q24.2, ROBO4

But actual location of Thy1 is probably 11q22.3-23. Can somebody resolve this? --Dr.saptarshi 03:09, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article is looking fairly good! You've obviously put a lot of work into it. Dr Aaron 09:05, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Dr Aaron, how can we make it into a wikipedia:good article ? By adding some images and tables and also see boxes? --Dr.saptarshi 00:03, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Let's try an infobox for people who may not have the patience to read the text understand the importance of this protein ( i have nothing personal with this protein):

I am not very good with infobox formatting.. I created the box lot of trial and error. Somebody please see the article page and fix the infobox I put in there. --Dr.saptarshi 02:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
