Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
The curve was prepared by loading 5 µg/mL of Raji cell extracts, followed by a 1:2 titration series. Background-subtracted data values (mean +/- SD) are graphed.
Human PBMCs were cultured in RPMI supplemented with 10% fetal calf serum, 2 mM L-glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin, and 100 µg/mL streptomycin. Cells were cultured for 2 days at 37⁰C in the presence or absence of PHA. The concentrations of ICAM-1 were interpolated from the calibration curve and corrected for sample dilution. The mean ICAM-1 concentration was determined to be 320 pg/mL in unstimulated PBMC supernatants and 2,654 pg/mL in stimulated PBMC supernatants.
The levels of ICAM-1 in serum samples were tested from ten individual healthy donors. Levels were interpolated from the standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. The levels of ICAM-1 are shown for the percentage of individuals within each 100 ng/mL bin center of the distribution. The mean level of ICAM-1 was 469 ng/mL with a range of 347 to 629 ng/mL and a standard deviation of 77 ng/mL.
The levels of ICAM-1 protein were assessed in three Human cell line lysates loaded at 2.5 µg/mL of protein. The raw OD 450 nm signal for each sample was interpolated from an ICAM1 standard curve.
