Principle of the Assay: This kit is based on a sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. An analyte-specific polyclonal antibody is pre-coated onto 96-well plates. The biotin conjugated second antibody is used as detection antibody. During the first incubation the standards and samples react with the analyte-specific pre-coated antibody. In a second incubation the biotin conjugated detection antibody completes the sandwich. After washing with wash buffer the TMB substrate is added to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB is catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changes into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The optical density of the yellow color is proportional to the analyte captured in plate. Read the O.D. absorbance at 450nm in a microtiterplate reader, and calculate the concentration of the analyte in the sample by taking into consideration the dilution factor of the sample!!Background/Introduction: Interleukin-18 (IL18), also known as interferon-gamma inducing factor, in humans is encoded by the IL18 gene, this gene contains 6 exons, and maps to 11q22.2-q22.3. It is a cytokine that belongs to the IL-1 superfamily and is produced by macrophages and other cells. It works by binding to the interleukin-18 receptor, and together with IL-12 it induces cell-mediated immunity following infection with microbial products like lipopolysaccharide (LPS). IL-18 has been implicated as an inflammatory mediator of Hashimoto's thyroiditis, the most common cause of autoimmune hypothyroidism. IL-18 is also able to induce severe inflammatory reactions, which suggests its role in certain inflammatory disorders.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. This cytokine is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in various immune responses, inflammatory processes, and hematopoiesis. This cytokine is produced by monocytes and macrophages as a proprotein, which is proteolytically processed and released in response to cell injury, and thus induces apoptosis. This gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. It has been suggested that the polymorphism of these genes is associated with rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
IL1A: 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. Belongs to the IL-1 family.

Product Notes
The IL-1alpha il1a (Catalog #AAA495337) is an ELISA Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "IL-1alpha, ELISA Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
