Overview
CD54 (ICAM-1) is a 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.
Specificity:
The rat monoclonal antibody YN1/1.7.4 reacts with an extracellular epitope of CD54 (ICAM-1), a 85-110 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein expressed on activated endothelial cells, T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, granulocytes and dendritic cells; the expression of CD54 is upregulated by activation.
