Mouse IL-1 beta ELISA Kit, for serum, plasma and cell culture supernatant

Not available outside of the UK & Ireland.

Application

Mouse IL-1 β ELISA Kit has been used to determine the presence of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in plasma sample. It has also been used to determine the serum concentration levels of IL-1β.

General description

The Mouse IL-1β ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of mouse IL-1β in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and urine. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) cytokine is generated by monocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages and keratinocytes. Pro-IL-1β, an IL-1β precursor undergoes proteolytic cleavage to produce its active form of 17 kDa. IL-1β is a potent inflammatory cytokine, and mediates inflammation through proinflammatory molecules: cyclooxygenase-2 (COX2) and nitric oxide. IL-1β release is stimulated by injury and increased levels are observed in response to severe pain. It has its main function in T-cell activation, antigen recognition and T-helper cell 17 cell development. IL-1β is also responsible for the formation of IL-17 and IL-22 by nature killer T (NKT) cells and NK cells. It is known to induce inflammation in psoriasis and rheumatoid arthritis. IL-1β controls intercellular adhesion molecule-1 expression. It is significantly associated with bone damage and vascular injury.
