Description

ICAMs are members of the Ig superfamily of calcium-independent transmembrane glycoproteins. ICAM-1 is a ligand for the lymphocyte function-associated antigen (LFA) and Mac-1 integrins, as well as the major human rhinovirus receptor. The primary function of ICAM-1 is to provide adhesion between endothelial cells and leukocytes after stress or injury. The human ICAM-1 gene codes for a 505 amino acid transmembrane glycoprotein containing a 29 amino acid cytoplasmic domain, a 23 amino acid transmembrane domain, and a 453 amino acid extracellular domain. Recombinant Human ICAM-1 is a 49.5 kDa glycoprotein comprising the extracellular domain (453 amino acid residues) of ICAM-1. Monomeric glycosylated ICAM-1 migrates at an apparent molecular weight of approximately 72.0–80.0 kDa by SDS-PAGE analysis under reducing conditions.

Biological Activity

ICAM-1 supported the adhesion of more than 50% PMA-stimulated HSB2 cells to plates coated at 25 µg/ml ICAM-1 concentration.

Endotoxin

Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng/μg of protein (<1EU/μg).

Reconstitution

Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.1–1.0 mg/ml. Do not vortex. For extended storage, it is recommended to further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein (example 0.1% BSA) and store in working aliquots at-20°C to –80°C.

Storage/Expiration

 –20°C
