Target: ICAM-1.
Clone: BE29G1.
Specificity: 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).
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.
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.
Immunogen: Purified Recombinant Mouse ICAM-1 (>98%).
Concentration: 0.5 mg/ml.
Formulation: 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.2, 150 mM NaCl with no carrier protein, potassium or preservatives added.
Purity: >95% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC.
Endotoxin: ≤ 1.0 EU/mg as determined by the LAL method.
Aggregation: Aggregation level ≤ 5%.
