Mouse anti Human CD54

CD54, M.W. 90,000, antigen is the Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-1 (ICAM-1) and is the ligand for LFA-1 mediated adhesion. CD54 is weakly expressed on peripheral blood leukocytes. Upon activation the antigen is expressed strongly on B cells, T cells, macrophages and granulocytes. ICAM-1 is also inducible on endothelial cells, epithelial cells and fibroblasts.

PBMC: Add10 µL of MAB/10^6 PBMC in 100 µL PBS. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at 2º to 8º C. Wash twice with PBS and analyze or fix with 0.5% v/v of paraformaldehyde in PBS and analyze. WHOLE BLOOD: Add10 µL of MAB/100 µL of whole blood. Mix gently and incubate for 15 minutes at room temperature 20º C. Lyse the whole blood. Wash once with PBS and analyze or fix with 0.5% v/v of paraformaldehyde in PBS and analyze. See instrument manufacturer’s instructions for Lysed Whole Blood and Immunofluorescence analysis with a flow cytometer or microscope.
