Product Summary for Mouse IL-1 alpha/IL-1F1 Quantikine ELISA Kit

The Quantikine Mouse IL-1 alpha Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure mouse IL-1 alpha levels in cell culture supernates and serum. It contains E. coli-expressed recombinant mouse IL-1 alpha and antibodies raised against the recombinant factor. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant mouse IL-1 alpha accurately. Results obtained using natural mouse IL-1 alpha showed dose response curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the recombinant Quantikine kit standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural mouse IL-1 alpha.

Background: IL-1 alpha/IL-1F1

IL-1 alpha (Interleukin-1 alpha) is a cytokine that is induced during microbial exposure and promotes the release of multiple inflammatory mediators and acute phase proteins. It also supports hematopoietic stem cell expansion, promotes neutrophil mobilization from the bone marrow, and promotes osteoclast formation. IL-1 alpha signals through a receptor complex composed of IL-1 RI and IL-1 RAcP. It also binds the decoy receptor IL-1 RII which associates with IL-1 RAcP but does not transduce signaling.

Long Name
