The Mouse CD54 Monoclonal Antibody (FITC Conjugated) (YN1/1.7.4) (AGEL0710) offered by AssayGenie is a specialized tool for researchers studying CD54, also known as intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1). This antibody, generated from mouse sources, is conjugated with FITC for fluorescence detection applications. It is highly specific and suitable for use in flow cytometry and immunofluorescence assays to detect CD54 expression on cell surfaces.CD54, a key cell adhesion molecule, plays a crucial role in immune response regulation by mediating interactions between cells and facilitating immune cell trafficking.
Its involvement in inflammatory processes and immune cell activation makes it a valuable target for research in immunology, infectious diseases, and inflammatory disorders. The Mouse CD54 Monoclonal Antibody (FITC Conjugated) (YN1/1.7.4) provides researchers with a reliable tool for investigating CD54 functions in various biological contexts, aiding in the understanding of immune responses and potential therapeutic targets.
Each lot of this antibody is quality control tested by flow cytometric analysis. Please check your vial before the experiment. Since applications vary, the appropriate dilutions must be determined for individual use. We suggest each investigator should titrate the reagent to obtain optimal results [The recommended concentration is 0.1-1 μg/106 cells in 100 μL volume].

Background:
CD54 is a 90 kD immunoglobulin superfamily member also known as ICAM-1 and Ly-47. It is expressed on activated endothelial cells, high endothelial venules (HEV), T and B cells, monocytes/ macrophages, granulocytes, and dendritic cells. CD54 is an important intracellular adhesion molecule that participates in T cell-T cell, T cell-B cell, and T cell-target cell interactions via binding of LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18) and Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18). CD54 has also been shown to be involved in lymphocyte trafficking, making it an important molecule in many immune reactions and inflammation. CD54 is also a receptor for rhinovirus. The YN1/1.7.4 antibody has been reported to block binding of mouse CD54 to LFA-1 and Mac-1, inhibit cell-cell adhesion, and function in antigen presentation to T cells and leukocyte migration to inflammatory tissues.
