Milli-Mark Anti-CD54-FITC Antibody, clone 6.5B5

General description

The CD54 antigen is a single chain glycoprotein with a molecular mass of 90 kDa (Springer, 1990). It is the human intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) belonging to the immunoglobulin supergene family. The ligand for ICAM-1 is LFA-1 (leucocyte function associated-1 protein) (Berendt, 1992). ICAM-1 is widely expressed on many cell types, although the degree of expression by unstimulated resting cells varies. As a cellular activation antigen the expression of ICAM-1 is up-regulated upon cell activation, being induced particularly in response to cytokines such as interleukin-1, tumor necrosis factor, and interferon- (Berendt, 1992; Wellicome, 1990; Thornhill, 1990). ICAM-1 might be a receptor for rhinovirus (Staunton, 1989). In rejecting kidneys the antibody stains all infiltrating cells strongly as well as glomerulus epithelium, endothelium on capillaries, large vessels, and mesangium (Waugh, 1989).
