PRODUCT NAME

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

SPECIES REACTIVITY

Mouse

HOST

Rat

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).

PURIFICATION METHOD

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.

IMMUNOGEN

Purified Recombinant Mouse ICAM-1 (>98%)

CONCENTRATION

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

AGGRIGATION

Aggregation level ≤ 5%

STORAGE CONDITION

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.

TARGET

ICAM-1

CLONE

BE29G1

SYNONYMS

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

UNIPROT

P13597

PATHOGEN TEST

APPLICATIONS

Immunoprecipitation, Western Blot, Blocking

APPLICATION 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.
