General Notes
Mouse anti Rat CD54 antibody, clone 1A29 recognizes the rat CD54 cell surface antigen, also known as intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), a ~90 kDa adhesion molecule belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily.CD54 is a cell surface ligand of the lymphocyte integrin, LFA-1 and plays an important role in various cell-cell interactions in the immune system. Cross-linking of ICAM-1 using clone 1A29 induces calcium signaling (Etienne et al. 1998).Mouse anti Rat CD54 antibody, clone 1A29 inhibits homotypic aggregation of cells including PHA blasts (Tamatani & Miyasaka 1990).
