Anti-CD54 (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule, ICAM-1), clone 3H1547

CD54 permits antigen-independent adhesion between lymphocytes and their targets and may be used to study cell-cell interactionsor for rhinovirus and malarial studies. The LFA-1 binding site is located in domain 1 of ICAM-1. CD54 antigen is a membrane glycoprotein of ~90kD with a wide tissue distribution that includes vascular endothelium and many cells of the immune system. CD54 is weakly expressed on resting peripheral blood lymphocytes. Upon activation by mitogens, the CD54 antigen is strongly expressed on B-cells, T-cells, macrophages and granulocytes.
