CD54 (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule, ICAM-1) (FITC)

May be stored at 4 degree C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20 degree C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20 degree C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. FITC conjugates are sensitive to light.

Recognizes Human CD54. Found in haemopoietic cells and vascular endothelium. Blocks CD54 function. Cytokine activation causes expression in other cell types such as fibroblasts and keratinocytes. ICAM-1 is involved in leukocyte recruitment, inflammation.
