Il1a Goat Polyclonal Antibody

Specifications

Product Data
Applications	ELISA, WB
Recommend Dilution	ELISA: (Direct): To detect Rat IL-1α by direct ELISA (using 100 μl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25-1.0 μg/ml of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant Rat IL-1α. (Sandwich): To detect Rat IL-1α by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μl/well antibody solution) a concentration of 0.25-1.0 μg/ml of this antibody is required. This biotinylated polyclonal antibody, in conjunction with Polyclonal Anti-Rat IL-1α (PP1133P) as a capture antibody, allows the detection of at least 0.2-0.4 ng/well of recombinant Rat IL-1α. Western blot: To detect Rat IL-1α by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at a concentration of 0.1-0.2 µg/ml. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagents the detection limit for recombinant Rat IL-1α is 1.5-3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing or non-reducing conditions.

Background	Interleukins (ILs) are a large group of cytokines that are produced mainly by leukocytes, although some are produced by certain phagocytes and auxiliary cells. Each IL acts on a specific, limited group of cells through a receptor specific for that IL. Interleukin 1 (IL1), originally known as lymphocyte activating factor (LAF), activates T cells and lymphocytes, which then proliferate and secrete interleukin 2. IL1 is primarily released from stimulated macrophages and monocytes, but also is released from several other cell types and is thought to play a key role in inflammatory and immune responses. The two closely related agents, interleukin 1 alpha (IL1 alpha) and interleukin 1 beta (IL1 beta) bind to the same cell surface receptor, elicit nearly identical biological responses and share 25% homology in their amino acid sequence.
Synonyms	IL-1 alpha, IL1F1, IL1A, Hematopoietin-1
