反应种属 | Rat |
应用 | Western Blot(0.1 µg/mL) |
目标/特异性 | Detects rat IL‑18/IL-1F4 in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In Western blots, approximately 35% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse IL‑18 is observed and approximately 10% cross-reactivity with recombinant human IL‑18 is observed. |
使用方法 | Western Blot: 0.1 µg/mL Neutralization: Measured by its ability to neutralize IL‑18/IL‑1F4-induced IFN‑ gamma secretion in activated mouse T cells [Ahn, H.J. et al. (1997) J. Immunol. 159:2125]. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 1-3 µg/mL in the presence of 15 ng/mL Recombinant Rat IL‑18/IL‑1F4 and 0.1 ng/mL Recombinant Mouse IL‑12. |

背景 | Interleukin-18 (IL-18), also known as IL-1F4 and IFN-gamma inducing factor (IGIF), is a member of the IL-1 family of cytokines and is a key molecule in the innate immune response (1). Rat IL-18 is synthesized as a 24 kDa proprotein that contains a 36 amino acid (aa) propeptide and a 158 aa mature region (2). Under inflammatory conditions, the propeptide is cleaved by Caspase-1 in the cytoplasm to liberate the mature nonglycosylated 18 kDa monomeric IL-18 (3, 4). Mature rat IL-18 shares 91% aa sequence identity with mouse IL-18 and 60-64% aa sequence identity with human, canine, feline, porcine, and rhesus macaque IL-18. IL-18 is secreted by a variety of cell types including macrophages, dendritic cells, and epithelial cells (1, 5). Circulating mature IL-18 is sequestered by soluble IL-18 binding proteins (IL-18 BP) that inhibit IL-18 bioactivity (6). IL-18 interacts with the widely expressed IL-18 R alpha which then recruits the signaling subunit IL-18 R beta (7, 8). The IL-1 family member IL-1F7 also binds to IL-18 R alpha but does not recruit IL-18 R beta or induce signaling (9). IL-1F7 binds IL-18 BP and enhances its neutralizing effect on IL-18 activity (9). IL-18 synergizes with other cytokines to activate NK, Th1, and Th17 cells and to increase the production of IFN-gamma (1, 5, 10-12). IL-18 can also promote Th2 cytokine release which reduces the effectiveness of antiviral responses (13, 14). Increased levels of active IL-18 contribute to the severity of autoimmunity and hypertension, while deficiency of IL-18 results in symptoms of metabolic syndrome (1, 5, 15, 16). In cancer, IL-18 stimulates Th1 and NK cells to target tumor cells, but it can also promote angiogenesis, metastasis, and tumor cell immune evasion (11). |

IFN‑ gamma Secretion Induced by IL‑18/IL‑1F4 and Neutralization by Rat IL‑18/IL‑1F4 Antibody. In the presence of Recombinant Mouse IL‑12 (0.1 ng/mL, Catalog # 419‑ML), Recombinant Rat IL‑18/IL‑1F4 (Catalog # 521‑RL) stimulates IFN‑ gamma secretion in activated mouse T cells in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by the Mouse IFN‑ gamma Quantikine ELISA Kit (Catalog # MIF00). Under these conditions, IFN‑ gamma secretion elicited by Recombinant Rat IL‑18/IL‑1F4 (15 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Rat IL‑18/IL‑1F4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF521). The ND50 is typically 1-3 µg/mL. |
