This antibody will block aggregation of cell lines mediated by ICAM-1 and blocks homotypic binding of purified populations of activated T- and B-lymphocytes and aggregation of mixed T- and B-cell blasts. Will inhibit T-cell adhesion to normal human endothelial cells. Activation induced by cell-cell contact (mixed lymphocyte reaction, T cell mediated B-cell activation) is significantly inhibited. This antibody will also block elements of both effector arms of the immune system (cytotoxic cell function and Ig production). This antibody has been reported to work for immunofluorescence and flow cytometry studies. Antibody should be titrated for optimal results in individual systems.
