Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑1 beta/IL‑1F2 and Neutrali-zation by Porcine IL‑1 beta/IL‑1F2 Antibody.

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑1 beta/IL‑1F2 and Neutrali-zation by Porcine IL‑1 beta/IL‑1F2 Antibody.

Recombinant Porcine IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 (Catalog # 681-PI) stimulates proliferation in the D10.G4.1 mouse helper T cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Proliferation elicited by Recombinant Porcine IL-1 beta/IL-1F2 (20 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Porcine IL-1 beta/ IL-1F2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF681). The ND50 is typically 4-20 µg/mL.

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), which are the products of distinct genes. IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta are structurally related polypeptides that share approximately 27% amino acid (aa) identity in porcine. 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 (1-4). The porcine IL-1 beta cDNA encodes a 267 aa precursor. A 114 aa propeptide is cleaved intracellularly by the cysteine protease IL-1 beta-converting enzyme (Caspase-1/ICE) to generate the active cytokine (5, 6). The 17 kDa mature porcine IL-1 beta shares 63%-70% aa sequence identity with canine, cotton rat, equine, feline, human, mouse, rat, and rhesus IL-1 beta.
