Product Information
Product Usage Information
This formulation is ideal for use with technologies requiring specialized or custom antibody labeling, including fluorophores, metals, lanthanides, and oligonucleotides. It is not recommended for ChIP, ChIP-seq, CUT&RUN or CUT&Tag assays. If you require a carrier free formulation for chromatin profiling, please contact us. Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with human IL-18 recombinant protein.
Background
Interleukin-18 (IL-18), originally known as interferon-gamma inducing factor (IGIF), is part of the IL-superfamily of cytokines (1,2). This proinflammatory cytokine is synthesized as an inactive precursor which requires cleavage by Caspase-1 to become an active, mature molecule, which is secreted by monocytes and macrophages (3,4,6). It induces IFNγ production in T-helper-1 (Th1) cells and natural killer (NK) cells, and can regulate innate immunity via both Th1 and Th2 responses (4,5). Elevated IL-18 levels are associated with autoimmune disease, but may be balanced by binding to IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP), which along with IL-18 neutralizing antibodies, are being examined in clinical trials (6,7).
