Human IL-1 beta/IL1B, C-His Tag Protein (Active)
cat.: HA210576
Product name: |
Human IL-1 beta/IL1B, C-His Tag |
Catalog No.: |
HA210576 |
Bio-Activity: |
Measured by its ability to induce Interferon gamma secretion by human natural killer lymphoma NK-92 cells. The ED50 for this effect is typically 0.2-2 ng/mL. |
Purity: |
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
Endotoxin: |
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method. |
Formulation: |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH7.4, 5% Trehalose, 5% mannitol. |
Background: |
Two forms of interleukin-1, designated IL-1α and IL-1β, have been described. Although encoded by distinct genes and exhibiting roughly only 25% sequence identity, IL-1α and IL-1β bind to the same receptor and seem to elicit similar biological responses. IL-1 production is generally thought to be associated with inflammation, but it has also been shown to be expressed during kidney development, thymocyte differentiation and cartilage degradation. IL-1 plays a critical role in the regulation of immune response and inflammation, acting as an activator of T and B lymphocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. In T cells, IL-1 stimulates the production of IL-2 and selectively inhibits IL-4 expression. IL-1 induces B cell proliferation and maturation, and immunoglobulin synthesis. NK cells require IL-1β for production of the anti- pathogen IFN-γ. IL-1 has also been implicated in several pathological conditions including rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and atherosclerosis. |
