Armenian Hamster Monoclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen 12701182

Catalog No. 50-111-18

Description

Description: The ALF-161 antibody reacts with mouse interleukin-1alpha (IL-1alpha). Mouse IL-1alpha, also called Lymphocyte Activating Factor (LAF), Endogenous Pyrogen (EP), Leukocyte Endogenous Mediator (LEM), and Mononuclear Cell Factor (MCF), is a 17 kDa factor produced by a wide variety of cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, T and B cells. IL-1alpha is mostly cell-associated, with 23% amino acid homology with IL-1beta. The immune regulatory role of IL-1alpha is exerted on a wide range of cells including lymphocytes, epithelial cells and fibroblasts. In vivo, it induces hypotension, fever, and acute phase response. Applications Reported: The ALF-161 antibody has been reported for use in ELISA capture, ELISPOT capture, neutralization, and intracellular staining for flow cytometry. Applications Tested: This ALF-161 antibody is offered in 2 formats: - μg size: Can can be used at less than or equal to 0.5 μg per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL. Cell number should be determined empirically but can range from 10^5 to 10^8 cells/test. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest. - test size: has been pre-titrated can be used at test size: 5 μL (0.25μg) per test. A test is defined as the amount (μg) of antibody that will stain a cell sample in a final volume of 100 μL.

IL-1 alpha (Interleukin-1 alpha) is a proinflammatory cytokine expressed by monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. IL-1 alpha is coded by the IL1A gene and signals through two receptors, IL-1RI and IL-1RII, both of which are shared with IL-1 beta. IL1A is located on the q arm on chromosome 2 at position 13. IL-1 alpha plays an important role in innate host defense by triggering the production of other proinflammatory cytokines in target cells and initiating acute-phase responses. IL-1 alpha activity can be moderated by IL-1 Receptor Antagonist (IL-1RA), a protein produced by many cell types that blocks receptor binding through competitive inhibition. IL-1 alpha is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in various immune responses, inflammatory processes, and hematopoiesis. Further, IL-1 alpha is produced by monocytes and macrophages as a proprotein, which is proteolytically processed and released in response to cell injury and induces apoptosis. The IL1A gene and eight other interleukin 1 family genes form a cytokine gene cluster on chromosome 2. IL1 alpha regulates the activities of NF-kappaB and mitogen-activated protein kinases. IL-1 alpha can stimulate the expression of IL6 and cyclooxygenase-2 (PTGS2/COX-2), as well as enhance the production of nitric oxide (NO). High levels of IL-1 alpha are associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and multiple sclerosis.
