Application DetailsImmunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 0.1-0.5 µg/mL is recommended for WB. Human ICAM1 (precursor) has a predicted length of 532 residues and a MW of 58 kDa. A concentration of 0.5-1 µg/mL is recommended to detect ICAM1 in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval is recommended. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Scientific BackgroundIntercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1) is a single-pass type 1 membrane glycoprotein that belongs to the ICAM family. ICAM1 is typically expressed on endothelial cells and cells of the immune system. ICAM-1 is also expressed in all types of glial cells including astrocytes and microglia.
Immunohistochemical staining of paraffin-embedded human mammary cancer sections using ICAM1 antibody (R-1025-100) at a concentration of 1.0-2.0 µg/ml. Secondary detection with Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG (10 µg/ml).
