Product details:
Mouse ICAM2 ELISA Kit (CD102) (ab205572) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of ICAM2 (CD102) protein in cell culture supernatant, serum, and plasma. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse ICAM2 (CD102) with 4 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
ICAM proteins are ligands for the leukocyte adhesion protein LFA-1 (integrin alpha-L/beta-2). ICAM2 is an integral membrane protein that has 2 immunoglobulin-like domains, and may play a role in lymphocyte recirculation by blocking LFA-1-dependent cell adhesion. It mediates adhesive interactions important for antigen-specific immune response, NK-cell mediated clearance, lymphocyte recirculation, and other cellular interactions important for immune response and surveillance.

ICAM2 also known as IC2 or ICAM-2 is a cell surface glycoprotein with a molecular mass of approximately 55-65 kDa. It plays an important role in immune response. The protein belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily and interacts specifically with integrin molecules. ICAM2 is expressed widely across many tissues including endothelial cells platelets and leukocytes. Its primary function involves facilitating stable adhesion between leukocytes and endothelial cells which is essential for leukocyte transmigration.
Biological function summary
ICAM2 helps in immune function by serving as an adhesion molecule. It does not form part of a larger protein complex but instead it acts independently to mediate interactions between cells. It contributes to leukocyte rolling and firm adhesion stages necessary for leukocyte extravasation. This function is important in immune surveillance and response to infection allowing immune cells to quickly migrate to sites of inflammation.
Pathways
ICAM2 operates in the leukocyte adhesion and transendothelial migration pathways. It interacts closely with integrins especially LFA-1 present on leukocytes and this interaction supports cell movement during immune responses. It also participates in signaling pathways that activate immune cells further aiding in the regulation of immune cell activity. These interactions make ICAM2 a critical component in immunological communication and signal transduction pathways.
ICAM2 is associated with conditions involving immune dysfunction and inflammation. For instance abnormal expression of ICAM2 has been linked to inflammatory diseases such as atherosclerosis. Additionally it plays a role in the pathology of multiple sclerosis where it might influence the migration of immune cells across the blood-brain barrier. Its relationship with integrins highlights its potential relevance in therapeutic strategies to modulate immune responses in these diseases.
