'''Intercellular adhesion molecule''' (ICAM) is part of the immunoglobulin superfamily. ICAM binds to leukocyte function associated molecule 1 (LFA-1) and macrophage-1 antigen during inflammation<ref>PMID:8834767</ref>. ICAM contains 5 Ig-like domains. | '''Intercellular adhesion molecule''' (ICAM) is part of the immunoglobulin superfamily.
