CD54 / ICAM-1(15.2) , Biotin conjugate , 0.1mg / mL

Recognizes an 85-115 kDa protein (variation with cell type) , identified as intercellular adhesion molecule (ICAM-1). It has 7 potential N-linked glycosylation sites. ICAM-1 is a single chain glycoprotein of Ig supergene family , present on unstimulated endothelial cells (EC) and on a variety of other cell types including activated fibroblasts , EC , macrophages , and lymphocytes. ICAM-1 mediates cell adhesion by binding to integrins CD11a/CD18 (leukocyte adhesion molecule , LFA-1) and to CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1). This interaction enhances antigen-specific T-cell activation. ICAM-1 also binds to CD43 and to Plasmodium falciparum infected RBCs. ICAM-1 may also be related to progression and metastasis of tumors. Primary antibodies are available purified , or with a selection of fluorescent CF® Dyes and other labels. CF® Dyes offer exceptional brightness and photostability. Note: Conjugates of blue fluorescent dyes like CF®405S and CF®405M are not recommended for detecting low abundance targets , because blue dyes have lower fluorescence and can give higher non-specific background than other dye colors.
