IL-1 beta, rat recombinant
Interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) is a non-secreted proinflammatory cytokine produced mainly by activated macrophages, as well as neutrophils, epithelial cells, and endothelial cells. It possesses metabolic, physiological, haematopoietic activities, and plays one of the central roles in the regulation of the immune responses. Both IL-1αand IL-1β binds to the same receptor and has similar but not identical biological properties. The mature rat IL1β shares 90 % a.a. sequence identity with cotton rat and mouse and 65 % to 77 % with canine, human,and rhesus IL1β.

Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4, with 5 % trehalose, 0.02 % Tween-20. |
|
Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
