| Catalog Number | P80022-R08H |
|---|---|
| Organism Species | Rat |
| Host | Human Cells |
| Synonyms | CD54, ICAM |
| Molecular Weight | The recombinant rat ICAM1 comprises 477 amino acids and predicts a molecular mass of 52.7 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the rat ICAM1 is approximately 70-75 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation. |
| predicted N | Gln 28 |
| SDS-PAGE |  |
| Purity | > 97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE |
| Protein Construction | A DNA sequence encoding the rat ICAM1 (Q00238-1) extracellular domain (Met 1-Thr 493) was expressed, fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus. |
| Bio-activity | Measured by the ability of the immobilized protein to support the adhesion of PMA-stimulated HSB2 human peripheral blood acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells. When cells are added to rat ICAM1 coated plates (12.5 µg/mL, 100 µL/well), approximately > 30% cells will adhere specifically. |
| Research Area | Microbiology |Pathogenic microorganism |viruses |animal virus |viral illness |Viral tract respiratory illness | |
| Formulation | Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4 1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose and mannitol are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA. |
| Background | Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1, or CD54) is a 90 kDa member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and is critical for the firm arrest and transmigration of leukocytes out of blood vessels and into tissues. ICAM-1 is constitutively present on endothelial cells, but its expression is increased by proinflammatory cytokines. The endothelial expression of ICAM-1 is increased in atherosclerotic and transplant-associated atherosclerotic tissue and in animal models of atherosclerosis. Additionally, ICAM-1 has been implicated in the progression of autoimmune diseases. ICAM-1 is a ligand for LFA-1(integrin). When activated, leukocytes bind to endothelial cells via ICAM-1/LFA-1 interaction and then transmigrate into tissues. Presence with heavy glycosylation and other structural characteristics, ICAM-1 possesses binding sites for a number of immune-associated ligands and serves as the binding site for entry of the major group of human Rhinovirus (HRV) into various cell types. ICAM-1 also becomes known for its affinity for Plasmodium falciparum-infected erythrocytes (PFIE), providing more of a role in infectious disease. Previous studies have shown that ICAM-1 is involved in inflammatory reactions and that a defect in ICAM-1 gene inhibits allergic contact hypersensitivity. |
