Anti-ICAM-1 (Ab-2) Mouse mAb (W-CAM-1)

Purified mouse monoclonal antibody generated by immunizing mice with the specified immunogen and fusing Balb/c splenocytes with p3-NS-1/Ag4-1 (NS1) mouse myeloma cells (see application references). Recognizes the ~85-115 kDa ICAM-1 protein.

Recognizes the ~85-115 kDa ICAM-1 protein in endothelial cells and tonsil tissue.

This Anti-ICAM-1 (Ab-2) Mouse mAb (W-CAM-1) is validated for use in Cell Inhibition Assays, FC, Frozen Sections, Immunoblotting, IF, IP, Paraffin Sections for the detection of ICAM-1 (Ab-2).

This antibody will block aggregation of cell lines mediated by ICAM-1 and blocks homotypic binding of purified populations of activated T- and B-lymphocytes and aggregation of mixed T- and B-cell blasts. Will inhibit T-cell adhesion to normal human endothelial cells. Activation induced by cell-cell contact (mixed lymphocyte reaction, T cell mediated B-cell activation) is significantly inhibited. This antibody will also block elements of both effector arms of the immune system (cytotoxic cell function and Ig production). This antibody has been reported to work for immunofluorescence and flow cytometry studies. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
