The Mouse CD54 Monoclonal Antibody (YN1/1.7.4) - AGEL0116 is a valuable tool for researchers studying CD54, also known as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). This monoclonal antibody, generated against mouse samples, is highly specific and reliable for use in various experimental applications.CD54 is a cell surface glycoprotein involved in immune responses, cell adhesion, and inflammation. It plays a crucial role in the immune system by facilitating interactions between immune cells, such as leukocytes, and endothelial cells during immune surveillance and inflammatory processes. The expression of CD54 is upregulated in response to various stimuli, contributing to immune cell recruitment and activation.The YN1/1.
7.4 Mouse CD54 Monoclonal Antibody is ideal for detecting and analyzing CD54 expression in mouse samples, making it a valuable tool for research in immunology, inflammation, and infectious diseases. Its specificity and high reactivity ensure accurate and reliable results in techniques such as immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and immunoprecipitation.By targeting CD54 with this monoclonal antibody, researchers can gain insights into the role of this molecule in immune responses, cell signaling pathways, and inflammatory diseases. Understanding the function and regulation of CD54 is essential for developing targeted therapies and interventions for conditions where its dysregulation plays a significant role.

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.
