ICAM-1 is a member of the immunoglobulin family and can be expressed on non-hematopoietic cells, such as vascular endothelial cells. It is involved in the transmigration of leucocytes to sites of inflammation. A soluble form of ICAM-1 (sICAM-1) has been identified in serum and cerebrospinal fluid and it contains the five extracellular Ig-domains of ICAM-1. sICAM-1 is an inflammatory marker that has been associated with several common diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and malaria. High levels of sICAM-1 have been found in serum from patients with cardiovascular disease, cancer, HIV-1, and autoimmune diseases. sICAM-1 is able to competitively bind the ligands of membrane-bound ICAM-1, such as LFA-1, Mac-1, and human rhinovirus. AlphaLISA technology allows the detection of molecules of interest in a no-wash, highly sensitive, quantitative assay. In an AlphaLISA assay, a biotinylated anti-analyte antibody binds to the Streptavidin-coated Donor beads while another anti-analyte antibody is conjugated to AlphaLISA Acceptor beads. In the presence of the analyte, the beads come into close proximity. The excitation of the Donor beads causes the release of singlet oxygen molecules that triggers a cascade of energy transfer in the Acceptor beads, resulting in a sharp peak of light emission at 615 nm.
