Description: Rabbit IgG polyclonal antibody for IL18 detection. Tested with WB, Direct ELISA in Rat.
Background: Interleukin-18 also known as IL18 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the IL18 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine.IL-18 is a cytokine produced by macrophages and other cells that belongs to the IL-1 superfamily. IL-18 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). After stimulation with IL-18, natural killer(NK) cells and certain T cells release another important cytokine called interferon-gamma(IFN-gamma) or type II interferon that plays an important role in activating the macrophages or other cells.The combination of this cytokine and IL12 has been shown to inhibit IL4 dependent IgE and IgG1 production, and enhance IgG2a production in B cells. IL-18 binding protein(IL18BP) can specifically interact with this cytokine, and thus negatively regulate its biological activity. The human interleukin 18 gene IL18 maps to 11q22.2-q22.3, closely linked to the DRD2 gene locus and distinct from mapped IDDM loci.

Product Notes
The Il18 il18 (Catalog #AAA1752915) is an Antibody produced from Rabbit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Anti-IL18 Antibody reacts with Rat and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's IL18 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB), Direct ELISA (EIA). WB: 0.1-0.25ug/ml (Rat) Direct ELISA: 0.1-0.5ug/ml (Rat) Tested Species: In-house tested species with positive results. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Il18 il18 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "IL18, Polyclonal Antibody" 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
