Background: Interleukin 1 (IL-1) is first cytokine super-family identified during the early research on cell secreted factors that regulator fever and inflammatory reaction. IL-1 is also known as lymphocyte activating factor, endogenous pyrogen, catabolin, hemopoietin-1, melanoma growth inhibition factor, and osteoclast activating factor. The properties and biological activities of IL-1 have been extensively reviewed. The two most studied members in the family are Interleukin 1alpha (IL-1alpha) and Interleukin 1beta(IL-1beta). IL-1alpha (also known as IL-1F1) and IL-1beta (also known as IL-1F2) are distinct gene products, but they recognize the same receptors and have similar biological properties. A natural antagonist of IL-1alpha and IL-1beta called IL-1Ra was found to compete with IL-1alpha and IL-1beta for membrane receptor binding to down-regulate the activity of IL-1alpha and IL-1beta. IL-1beta is primarily produced by activated macrophage as a proprotein, which is cleaved by caspase I to become active. Like IL-1alpha, IL-1beta is an important mediator of innate immunity. IL-1beta stimulates lymphocyte proliferation and the production of TNF-alpha, IL-6 and IL-8. IL-1beta and TNF-alpha can synergically act at NFkappaB and mitogen kinases including JNKs and p38 MARKs, thus leading to the selective expression of genes for immunity and inflammation.

Product Notes
The IL-1beta il-1 beta (Catalog #AAA590063) 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 "Interleukin-1beta, 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
