Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
ICAM-1 always binds with?
A
LFA-1
B
CD28
C
CD 80/86
D
IL-1
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1, CD54) binds to the integrin LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18), promoting cell adhesion in immune and inflammatory reactions. ICAM-1 is also subverted as a receptor by the major group of rhinoviruses.

Detailed explanation-2: -ICAM-1 binds to leukocyte function-associated antigen (LFA-1) or macrophage-1 antigen (Mac-1). However, ICAM-1 is also used as a receptor by the major group of human rhinoviruses and is a catalyst for the subsequent viral uncoating during cell entry.

Detailed explanation-3: -ICAM-1 possesses binding sites for a number of immune-associated ligands. Notably, ICAM-1 binds to macrophage adhesion ligand-1 (Mac-1; ITGB2 / ITGAM), leukocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1), and fibrinogen.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lymphocyte function-associated-antigen-1 (LFA-1) is able to bind selectively to its ligands intercellular adhesion molecules 1 and 3 (ICAM-1 and ICAM-3), suggesting that LFA-1 can exist in distinct ligand-specific binding states.

Detailed explanation-5: -The LFA-1/ICAM-1 interaction plays a role in the firm adhesion of T cells to the endothelium, followed by transmigration of T cells across endothelial cells via intracellular signals that lead to cytoskeletal changes necessary for cell movement.
