Immobilized recombinant mouse ICAM-2 supports the adhesion of retinoic acid (2 µM, 72 hours) activated HL-60 cells in a dose dependent manner. ED50 for this effect is 0.5 - 2.0 µg/mL. The Deep Blue Cell Viability™ Kit (Cat. No. 424702) was used to measure the number of adherent cells. -
Stability testing for mouse ICAM-2. Mouse ICAM-2 was aliquoted in PBS, pH 7.2 at 0.2 mg/ml. One aliquot was freeze and thawed four times (4x freeze/thaws), and compared to a control kept at 4°C (control). The samples were tested for their ability to support the adhesion of HL-60 cells.

ICAM-2 is a type I transmembrane glycoprotein containing two extracellular Ig superfamily domains, a hydrophobic transmembrane region, and a short cytoplasmic domain, constitutively expressed on various cell types including T and B lymphocytes, macrophages, NK cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, neutrophils, endothelial cells, platelets, and CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells. Primarily localized to apical surface near intercellular junctions, ICAM-2 mediates cell binding to integrins like LFA-1 (αLβ2, CD11a/Cd18) and MAC-1 (αMβ2, CD11b/CD18) with strong implications in angiogenesis, inflammation, and cell survival. Specifically, it plays an essential role in lymphocyte adhesion, recruitment, trafficking, recirculation, and extravasation. ICAM-2 associates with ERM (ezrin/radixin/moesin) proteins to activate PI3K/Akt pathway and subsequently inhibit apoptosis in leukocytes and fibroblasts, while promoting capillary tube formation and junction maturation in endothelial cells via triggering of small GTPase Rac1 activation. ICAM-2 is the only member of all ICAMs that maps to chromosome 17q23-25, a segment known for genomic instability and high aberration in cancers. ICAM-2 is refractory to pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1, TNF-α, and IFN-γ, the very proteins that strongly upregulate ICAM-1 expression on endothelial cells both in vitro and in vivo.

- Endotoxin Level
- Less than 0.1 EU per µg protein as determined by the LAL method.
- Concentration
- 10 and 25 µg sizes are bottled at 200 µg/mL. 100 µg size and larger sizes are lot-specific and bottled at the concentration indicated on the vial. To obtain lot-specific concentration and expiration, please enter the lot number in our Certificate of Analysis online tool.
- Storage & Handling
- Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to 2 weeks, at -20°C for up to six months, or at -70°C or colder until the expiration date. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or colder. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week and stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
- Activity
- ED50= 0.5 - 2.0 μg/mL as measured by the ability of immobilized protein to support the adhesion of retinoic acid (2 µlM, 72 hours) activated HL-60 cells. The Deep Blue Cell Viability™ Kit (Cat. No. 424702) was used to measure the number of adherent cells.

• Learn more about our Recombinant Proteins. - How does the activity of your recombinant proteins compare to competitors?
-
We quality control each and every lot of recombinant protein. Not only do we check its bioactivity, but we also compare it against other commercially available recombinant proteins. We make sure each recombinant protein’s activity is at least as good as or better than the competition’s. In order to provide you with the best possible product, we ensure that our testing process is rigorous and thorough. If you’re curious and eager to make the switch to BioLegend recombinants, contact your sales representative today!
- What is the specific activity or ED50 of my recombinant protein?
-
The specific activity range of the protein is indicated on the product datasheets. Because the exact activity values on a per unit basis can largely fluctuate depending on a number of factors, including the nature of the assay, cell density, age of cells/passage number, culture media used, and end user technique, the specific activity is best defined as a range and we guarantee the specific activity of all our lots will be within the range indicated on the datasheet. Please note this only applies to recombinants labeled for use in bioassays. ELISA standard recombinant proteins are not recommended for bioassay usage as they are not tested for these applications.
- Have your recombinants been tested for stability?
-
Our testing shows that the recombinant proteins are able to withstand room temperature for a week without losing activity. In addition the recombinant proteins were also found to withstand four cycles of freeze and thaw without losing activity.
- Does specific activity of a recombinant protein vary between lots?
-
Specific activity will vary for each lot and for the type of experiment that is done to validate it, but all passed lots will have activity within the established ED50 range for the product and we guarantee that our products will have lot-to-lot consistency. Please conduct an experiment-specific validation to find the optimal ED50 for your system.
- How do you convert activity as an ED50 in ng/ml to a specific activity in Units/mg?
-
Use formula Specific activity (Units/mg) = 10^6/ ED50 (ng/mL)
