IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 Antibody [Biotin] Summary
| Description |
This antibody was heated to 56 C for 30 minutes.
|
| Immunogen |
This antibody was prepared by repeated immunizations with recombinant human IL-1 beta produced in E.coli. The MW of the recombinant 153 aa IL-1 beta was 17 kDa with the N-terminal amino acid at position alanine 117. This cleavage site is generated by the IL-1 beta converting enzyme (ICE, capase-1).
|
| Specificity |
This antibody is primarily directed against mature, 17,000 MW human IL-1 beta.

| Application Notes |
This antibody recognizes the 17,000 MW mature IL-1Beta. For immunoblots, typically, IL-1Beta is detected from supernatants or lysates of 2 x 10E6 endotoxin-stimulated peripheral blood mononuclear cells. PBMC are stimulated for 24 hours with 1% serum plus 10 ng/mL E.coli LPS. For immunoprecipitation pre-clearing the preparation with a non-specific Rabbit IgG – reduce background is suggested. For immunohistochemistry either paraffin fixation or cryofixation can be used for sample preparation – stain intracellular IL-1Beta. For ELISA use HRP Conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG [H&L] for detection. In ELISA formats this antibody is best used as the second antibody in combination with a monoclonal antibody as a capture antibody. This antibody is also useful for neutralization of human and primate IL-1Beta activity in bioassays. It does not neutralize the biological activity IL-1alpha. It does not neutralize the biological activity of murine, rat or rabbit IL-1Beta. For neutralization, it is recommended – incubate the sample with a dilution of the antibody for at least 4 hours before being tested. A control of similarly diluted normal rabbit IgG is recommended. This antibody can be used f. Caution should be exhibited as the F domain of the rabbit IgG molecule may interact with cells non-specifically.

Background
IL-1 beta (also known as Interleukin-1 beta, IL-1 beta and catabolin) is produced by activated macrophages. IL-1 stimulates thymocyte proliferation by inducing IL-2 release, B-cell maturation and proliferation, and fibroblast growth factor activity. IL-1 proteins are involved in the inflammatory response, being identified as endogenous pyrogens, and are reported to stimulate the release of prostaglandin and collagenase from synovial cells. IL-1 beta is a monomeric secreted protein that may be released by damaged cells or is secreted by a mechanism differing from that used for other secretory proteins.
