CD54 Antibody DOD-9 / Major Rhinovirus Receptor Antibody recognizes intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), a cell-surface glycoprotein also designated CD54. ICAM1 belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and contains five extracellular immunoglobulin-like domains, a single transmembrane region, and a short cytoplasmic domain. The protein mediates adhesive interactions between leukocytes and other cell types and has important functions in immune surveillance, inflammation, and cellular communication.
CD54 is a major ligand for LFA-1, an integrin composed of CD11a and CD18 that is expressed on leukocytes. ICAM1-LFA-1 binding promotes firm cell-cell adhesion and contributes to leukocyte migration across vascular endothelium into tissues. ICAM1 can also interact with Mac-1, composed of CD11b and CD18. These interactions connect CD54 with immune cell trafficking and the formation of stable contacts between lymphocytes and antigen-presenting cells.
ICAM1 expression is strongly regulated by inflammatory stimuli. Cytokines can increase surface expression on endothelial, epithelial, and immune cells, facilitating recruitment and retention of leukocytes at sites of inflammation. Changes in CD54 expression have consequently been investigated in inflammatory disease, vascular biology, immune activation, tissue injury, and cancer. Soluble ICAM1 can also be released from the cell surface and has been studied as an indicator of inflammatory and vascular processes.
ICAM1 additionally functions as the major cellular receptor for many human rhinovirus serotypes. Viral capsid proteins interact with the extracellular region of ICAM1 during attachment, linking CD54 biology with studies of rhinovirus infection and host-pathogen interactions. The protein is extensively N-glycosylated, contributing to an apparent molecular weight substantially greater than the calculated mass of its unmodified polypeptide. Clone DOD-9 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody generated using a synthetic peptide specific to human ICAM1/CD54.
NSJ Bioreagents offers this Major Rhinovirus Receptor Antibody for research into CD54 expression and ICAM1 biology. A CD54 Antibody can support investigation of immune cell adhesion, leukocyte trafficking, inflammation, vascular biology, and ICAM1-mediated host-pathogen interactions.
For an alternative monoclonal targeting ICAM1/CD54, see our ICAM1 Antibody ICAM1/6319 / Cell Adhesion Molecule Antibody page.
Optimal dilution of the CD54 Antibody DOD-9 / Major Rhinovirus Receptor Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A synthetic peptide specific to human ICAM1 / CD54 was used as the immunogen for the CD54 Antibody DOD-9.
Store the CD54 Antibody DOD-9 at -20oC.
