The activity is determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of mouse D10S cells. The expected ED50 for this effect is 0.6-0.8 pg/mL.
Quality Control Testing:
1 ug/lane in 4-20% Tris-Glycine gel Stained with Coomassie Blue
Non-reducing conditions
Storage Buffer:
No additive
Storage Instruction:
Store at -20°C on dry atmosphere. After reconstitution with sterilized water, store at -20°C or lower. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Note:
Result of activity analysis
Serial dilutions of human IL1A (starting at 250 pg/mL) were added to D10S cells. After 42 hours, cell proliferation was measured and the linear portion of the curve was us used to calculate the ED50.
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
