ICAM-3 ELISA Kit (Intercellular Adhesion Molecule-3)

INTENDED USE

Human ICAM-3 ELISA kit is intended for measuring in vitro quantitative amounts of intercellular adhesion molecule-3 (ICAM3, CD50, ICAM-3) in human tissue homogenates, plasma, serum and other biological fluids. This assay has a minimum sensitivity limit of 0.938 ng/ml.

BACKGROUND

Intercellular adhesion molecule-3 (short for ICAM-3, ICAM3) which can also been called CD50 is a member of the ICAM family and it functions both as an adhesion and a potent signalling molecule. This protein is abundantly and constitutively expressed by all leukocytes, there is also evidence to indicate that it may be a vital ligand for initiating immune response for LFA-1 molecules.

ICAM-3 contains type I transmembrane glycoproteins, that is made up of 2-9 immunoglobulin-like C2-type domains. This can to bind to the leukocyte adhesion LFA-1 protein. Alternative splicing is known to lead to multiple transcript variants being produced which are encoding different isoforms. It can bind to leukocyte adhesion LFA-1 protein (CD18/CD11a) and this can help to facilitate cell-cell interactions which need to happen in the immune system.
