Cell Proliferation Induced by IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 and Neutralization by Rat IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 and Neutralization by Rat IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 Antibody.

Recombinant Rat IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 (Catalog # 501-RL) stimulates proliferation in the the D10.G4.1 mouse helper T cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Rat IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 (10 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Rat IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-501-NA). The ND50 is typically 2-10 µg/mL.
IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 antibody in Rat Splenocytes by Immunocytochemistry (ICC).

IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 in Rat Splenocytes.

IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 was detected in immersion fixed LPS-stimulated rat splenocytes using 5 µg/mL Rat IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF-501-NA) for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained with the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL001) and counterstained (green).

Spatiotemporal analysis of retinal Il-1 beta protein levels following LD.A-G: Immunohistochemical assessment of Il-1 beta expression (green) in retinal cryosections over the course of LD. A: Immunoreactivity (IR) for Il-1 beta protein was not observed in dim-reared animals. B-D: Il-1 beta-IR was present among ramified nuclei situated within the ONL and OS (arrowheads) immediately following exposure to 24hrs LD. E-F: Il-1 beta-IR co-localised with IBA1+ cells (red) situated in the ONL/OS, though was not apparent in IBA1+ cells outside the vicinity of the ONL (asterisks). G-H: Il-1 beta-expressing cells (H, arrowheads) did not show any discernible IR for the M2 marker CD206 (red). I: Negative control sections, in which the primary antibody was omitted, did not show any resemblance to the IR for Il-1 beta evidenced in C-D at 24hrs LD. J: ELISA for Il-1 beta protein indicated an increased abundance of the protein immediately after 24hrs LD (P<0.05), and which was virtually undetectable at all other time points. C, choroid; GCL, ganglion cell layer; INL, inner nuclear layer; IHC, immunohistochemistry; ONL, outer nuclear layer; OS, outer segments; RPE, retinal pigment epithelium. The trend in ELISA protein levels was significant by ANOVA (P < 0.05); N = 3 for each timepoint.

Background: IL-1 beta/IL-1F2

IL-1 is a name that designates two pleiotropic cytokines, IL-1 alpha (IL-1F1) and IL-1 beta (IL-1F2, IL1B), which are the products of distinct genes. IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta are structurally related polypeptides that share approximately 26% amino acid (aa) identity in rat. Both proteins are produced by a wide variety of cells in response to inflammatory agents, infections, or microbial endotoxins. While IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta are regulated independently, they bind to the same receptor and exert identical biological effects. IL-1 RI binds directly to IL-1 alpha or IL-1 beta and then associates with IL-1 R accessory protein (IL-1 R3/IL-1 R AcP) to form a high-affinity receptor complex that is competent for signal transduction. IL-1 RII has high affinity for IL-1 beta but functions as a decoy receptor and negative regulator of IL-1 beta activity. IL-1ra functions as a competitive antagonist by preventing IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta from interacting with IL-1 RI. Intracellular cleavage of the IL-1 beta precursor by Caspase-1/ICE is a key step in the inflammatory response. The 17 kDa molecular weight mature rat IL-1 beta shares 90% aa sequence identity with cotton rat and mouse and 67%-78% with canine, equine, feline, human, porcine, and rhesus macaque IL-1 beta. IL-1 beta functions in a central role in immune and inflammatory responses, bone remodeling, fever, carbohydrate metabolism, and GH/IGF-I physiology. IL-1 beta dysregulation is implicated in many pathological conditions including sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, acute and chronic myelogenous leukemia, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, neuronal injury, and aging-related diseases.
