Antibody DetailsProduct DetailsReactivity Species Rat Host Species Mouse Immunogen NS0-Derived Recombinant Rat ICAM-1 Formulation This monoclonal antibody has been 0.2 µm filtered and lyophilized from modified Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline (1X PBS) pH 7.2 - 7.3 containing 5.0% w/v trehalose with no calcium, magnesium or preservatives present. Storage and Handling The lyophilized antibody can be stored desiccated at -20°C to -70°C for up to twelve months. The reconstituted antibody can be stored for at least four weeks at 2-8°C. For long-term storage of the reconstituted antibody, aseptically aliquot into working volumes and store at -20°C to -70°C in a manual defrost freezer. Avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. No detectable loss of activity was observed after six months. Country of Origin USA Shipping Next Day Ambient RRIDAB_2830803 Applications and Recommended Usage? Quality Tested by Leinco Western Blotting: To detect Rat ICAM-1 this monoclonal antibody can be used at a concentration of 1-2 µg/ml. This monoclonal antibody should be used in conjunction with compatible second-step reagents such as PN:M114 and a chromogenic substrate such as PN:T343. The detection limit for rrICAM-1 is approximately 5 ng/lane and 1 ng/lane under non-reducing and reducing conditions, respectively. The sensitivity of detection may increase up to 50 fold when a chemiluminescent substrate is used. Each investigator should determine their own optimal working dilution for specific applications. See directions on lot specific datasheets, as information may periodically change. DescriptionSpecificity Clone 141011 recognizes an epitope on rat ICAM-1. This antibody shows no cross-reactivity with rmICAM-1, rmICAM-2, rhICAM-2, rhICAM-3, rmVCAM-1 or rhPCAM-1. Antigen Distribution CD54 is present on endothelial cells, lymphocytes, epithelial cells, dendritic cells and keratinocytes. Background ICAM-1 is a 55 kDa glycoprotein that is part of the Ig superfamily. It is heavily glycosylated to form 75 kDa to 115 kDa. ICAM-1 is known to be an adhesion and viral entry molecule, and its long suspected involevement in signal transduction is being elucidated. The signal-transducing functions of ICAM-1 appear to be mainly associated with proinflammatory pathways. Furthermore, ICAM-1 signaling appears to act as a beacon for inflammatory immune cells such as macrophages and granulocytes bringing about inflammation via lymphocyte trafficking. ICAM-1 is essential for the transmigration of leukocytes out of blood vessels and into tissues, and is a marker of endothelial dysfunction leading to damaging vascular disorders in umbilical and placental vascular tissue of gestational pregnancies. ICAM-1 is the receptor for rhinoviruses (the cause of most common colds) and malaria, and plays an inflammatory role in ocular allergies.
