Adhesion Molecule Assay Kits: Luminex Assays

Adhesion molecules play a critical role during inflammatory responses by mediating the interactions of leukocytes to endothelial cells and, subsequently, their migration into perivascular tissues. The levels of adhesion molecules such as intercellular cell adhesion molecule (ICAM)-1, vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM)-1, endothelial (E)-Selectin, and platelet (P)-Selectin are generally low in normal tissues but increase during an inflammatory response. Soluble forms are detected in biological fluids, and their concentrations may reflect their cellular expression levels.
