Antibody type
Monoclonal antibodies
Protein name
Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) (Major group rhinovirus receptor) (CD antigen CD54)
Immunogen
Synthesized peptide derived from human CD54
Specificity
This antibody detects endogenous levels of human CD54. Heat-induced epitope retrieval (HIER) Citrate buffer of pH6.0 was highly recommended as antigen repair method in paraffin section
Constitute
Liquid in PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA and 0.02% sodium azide.
Source
Mouse, Monoclonal/IgG1, Kappa
Dilution rate
WB 500-2000 IHC-p 1:100-500
Purification process
The antibody was affinity-purified from mouse ascites by affinity-chromatography using specific immunogen.
Background
This gene encodes a cell surface glycoprotein which is typically expressed on endothelial cells and cells of the immune system. It binds to integrins of type CD11a / CD18, or CD11b / CD18 and is also exploited by Rhinovirus as a receptor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:ICAM proteins are ligands for the leukocyte adhesion protein LFA-1 (integrin alpha-L/beta-2). During leukocyte trans-endothelial migration, ICAM1 engagement promotes the assembly of endothelial apical cups through SGEF and RHOG activation. In case of rhinovirus infection acts as a cellular receptor for the virus.,online information:ICAM-1,online information:Icosahedral capsid structure,online information:Intercellular adhesion molecule entry,polymorphism:Homozygotes with ICAM1-Kalifi Met-56 seem to have an increased risk for cerebral malaria.,PTM:Monoubiquitinated, which is promoted by MARCH9 and leads to endocytosis.,similarity:Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. ICAM family.,similarity:Contains 5 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.,subunit:Homodimer (Probable). Interacts with human herpesvirus 8 MIR2 protein (Probable). Interacts with MUC1 and promotes cell a
