The Mouse Monoclonal anti-ICAM1 antibody has been validated for WB, FACS, IF, IHC (p) and IHC (fro). It is suitable to detect ICAM1 in samples from Human.
Flow Cytometry. Western blot. Immunohistochemistry (paraffin sections): 10-20 μg/mL (Prolonged fixation in bufferedformalin can destroy the epitope, hight temperature antigen unmasking technique isrequired). Immunohistochemistry (frozen sections): 5-20 μg/mL. Immunocytochemistry. Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Background
CD54 (ICAM-1) is a 90 kD member of the C2 subset of immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a transmembrane molecule with 7 potential N-glycosylated sites, expressed on resting monocytes and endothelial cells and can be upregulated on many other cells, e.g. with lymphokines, on B- and T-lymphocytes, thymocytes, dendritic cells and also on keratinocytes, chondrocytes, as well as epithelial cells. CD54 mediates cell adhesion by binding to integrins CD11a/CD18 (LFA-1) and to CD11b/CD18 (Mac-1). The interaction of CD54 with LFA-1 enhances antigen-specific T-cell activation.Synonyms: ICAM-1, Intercellular adhesion molecule 1, Major Group Rhinovirus Receptor
