IL1 alpha (IL1A) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, FN, IHC, WB
Recommend Dilution	Immunohistochemistry: We recommend use of 1 µg per ml as a starting dilution. Paraffin sections may require pretreatment like Proteinase K or Trypsin predigestion to improve staining. ELISA: To detect hIL-1alpha by direct ELISA (using 100 µl/well antibody solution) a concentration of at least 0.5 µg/ml of this antibody is required. This antigen affinity purified antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant hIL-1 alpha. Western Blot: Use a concentration of 0.1-0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant hIL-1alpha is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions. Neutralization: To yield one-half maximal inhibition [ND50] of the biological activity of hIL-1 alpha (0.1 ng/ml), a concentration of 0.01-0.01 µg/ml of this antibody is required.

Background	Interleukins (ILs) are a large group of cytokines that are produced mainly by leukocytes, although some are produced by certain phagocytes and auxiliary cells. Each IL acts on a specific, limited group of cells through a receptor specific for that IL. Interleukin 1 (IL1), originally known as lymphocyte activating factor (LAF), activates T cells and lymphocytes, which then proliferate and secrete interleukin 2. IL1 is primarily released from stimulated macrophages and monocytes, but also is released from several other cell types and is thought to play a key role in inflammatory and immune responses. The two closely related agents, interleukin 1 alpha (IL1 alpha) and interleukin 1 beta (IL1 beta) bind to the same cell surface receptor, elicit nearly identical biological responses and share 25% homology in their amino acid sequence.
Synonyms	IL-1 alpha, IL1F1, IL1A, Hematopoietin-1
