Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse spleen using VCAM-1 (mouse and rat specific)
Vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1 or CD106) is an endothelial adhesion molecule of the Ig gene superfamily, that regulates leukocyte migration from the blood into tissues (1). Expression of VCAM1 is induced on endothelial cells during inflammatory diseases in response to a number of inflammatory stimuli, including TNFα, lipopolysaccharide or high levels of reactive oxygen species (2). VCAM1 expression in hematopoietic cells is restricted to cells confined to tissues e.g., red pulp macrophages and follicular dendritic cells in the spleen, whereas circulating cells are virtually devoid of VCAM1 (3). VCAM1 has been found to be implicated in various immunological disorders, including rheumatoid arthritis, transplant rejection and cancer and is therefore a potential therapeutic target (4).
