• Preparation: Produced from sera of goats immunized with highly pure Recombinant Human IL-1beta
• Anti-Human IL-1beta-specific antibody was purified by affinity chromatography and then biotinylated
• Sandwich ELISA: To detect hIL-1beta by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25-1.0 μg/mL of this antibody is required
• This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with PeproTech Polyclonal Anti-Human IL-1beta (500-P21BG) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of Recombinant hIL-1beta
• Western Blot: To detect hIL-1beta by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/mL
• Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for Recombinant hIL-1beta is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions
• 500-P21BGBT-1MG will be provided as 2 x 500 μg Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) is a proinflammatory cytokine expressed by monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells
• IL-1 beta is synthesized in response to inflammatory stimuli as a 31 kDa inactive pro-form that accumulates in the cytosol
• Cleavage of pro-IL-1 beta into the active 17 kDa protein requires the activation of inflammasomes, which are multi-protein complexes that respond to pathogens, stress conditions, and other danger signals
• Inflammasome activation triggers the processing of the caspase-1 precursor into its active form, which in turn cleaves pro-IL-1 beta
• IL-1 beta lacks a signal sequence peptide for classical ER/Golgi pathway and is secreted alongside caspase-1 via an alternate and incompletely understood mechanism
• Although IL-1 beta is most often secreted in its active form, secretion of the uncleaved protein may be detectable under some biological conditions
• IL-1 beta signals through two receptors, IL-1RI and IL-1RII, both of which are shared with IL-1 alpha
• IL-1 beta activity can be moderated by IL-1 Receptor Antagonist (IL-1RA), a protein produced by many cell types that blocks receptor binding through competitive inhibition
• IL-1 beta play an important role in innate host defense by triggering the production of other proinflammatory cytokines in target cells and initiating acute-phase responses to infection and injury
• Elevated levels of IL-1 beta have been associated with many chronic inflammatory conditions IL-1 beta neutralizing antibodies potential therapeutic value.
