| 目标/特异性 | Detects rhesus macaque IL‑18/IL-1F4 in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In Western blots, approximately 10% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse IL-18, recombinant rat IL-18, and recombinant porcine IL-18 is observed. |
| 使用方法 | Western Blot: 0.1 µg/mL Immunocytochemistry: 5-15 µg/mL Neutralization: Measured by its ability to neutralize IL‑18/IL‑1F4-induced IFN‑ gamma secretion in the KG‑1 human acute myelogenous leukemia cell line. Novick, D. et al. (1999) Immunity 10(1):127. The Neutralization Dose (ND50) is typically 0.4‑1.2 µg/mL in the presence of 10 ng/mL Recombinant Rhesus Macaque IL‑18/IL‑1F4 and 20 ng/mL Recombinant Human TNF‑ alpha. |

| 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). Rhesus IL-18 is synthesized as a 24 kDa proprotein that contains a 36 amino acid (aa) propeptide and a 157 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 rhesus IL-18 shares 96% aa sequence identity with human IL-18 and 60-76% with mouse, rat, canine, feline, and porcine 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 Primate IL‑18/IL‑1F4 Antibody. In the presence of Recombinant Human TNF‑ alpha (20 ng/mL, Catalog # 210-TA), Recombinant Rhesus Macaque IL‑18/IL‑1F4 (Catalog # 2548-RM) stimulates IFN‑ gamma secretion in the KG‑1 human acute myelogenous leukemia cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line), as measured by the Human IFN‑ gamma Quantikine ELISA Kit (Catalog # DIF50). Under these conditions, IFN‑ gamma secretion elicited by Recombinant Rhesus Macaque IL‑18/IL‑1F4 (10 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human/Rhesus Macaque IL‑18/IL‑1F4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2548). The ND50 is typically 0.4-1.2 µg/mL. | |
IL‑18/IL‑1F4 in Human PBMCs. IL‑18/IL‑1F4 was detected in immersion fixed human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using Goat Anti-Human/Rhesus Macaque IL‑18/IL‑1F4 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF2548) at 5 µg/mL for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained using the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL001) and counterstained with DAPI (green). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm.
