Anti-Mouse ICAM-1 (BE29G1) In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin

Product Specifications

Background

Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is one of an important cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) family transmembrane glycoprotein and is critical for the firm arrest and transmigration of leukocytes out of blood vessels and into tissues. ICAM-1 is constitutively present on endothelial cells, but its expression is increased by proinflammatory cytokines. ICAM-1 is a marker of endothelial dysfunction leading to damaging vascular disorders, in umbilical and placental vascular tissue of gestational pregnancies

CAS Number

9007-83-4

Specifications

Anti-ICAM-1 In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin (BE29G1) recognizes the (Mr 95 kD) cell surface glycoprotein known as intracellular adhesion molecule ICAM-1. ICAM-1 is the receptor for LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18) and Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18).

Storage Conditions

Anti-ICAM-1 In Vivo Antibody - Low Endotoxin (BE29G1) is stable for at least one week when stored sterile at 2-8°C. For long term storage aseptically aliquot in working volumes without diluting and store at –80°C. Avoid Repeated Freeze Thaw Cycles.

Formulation

0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.2, 150 mM NaCl with no carrier protein, potassium or preservatives added.

Antigen Distribution

The CD54 antigen is present on endothelial cells, lymphocytes, epithelial cells, dendritic cells and keratinocytes. It has been demonstrated that ICAM-1 enhances T-cell activation.

Aggregation

Aggregation level ≤ 5%

Applications Notes

Blocking: This antibody blocks the binding LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18) to ICAM-1. The antibody is suitable for studies of inflammation, lymphocyte differentiation, and lymphocyte activation. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications.
