SDS-PAGE
Purity	> 98 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
Protein Construction	A DNA sequence encoding the mature form of rat IL1B (Q63264-1) (Val 117-Ser 268) was expressed and purified.
Bio-activity	Measured in a cell proliferation assay using D10.G4.1 mouse helper T cells. The ED₅₀ for this effect is typically 30-120 pg/mL.
Research Area	Cardiovascular \|Atherosclerosis \|Vascular Inflammation \|Inflammatory mediators
Formulation	Lyophilized from sterile 40mM Tris, 0.15 M NaCl, pH 7.8 1. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose and mannitol are added as protectants before lyophilization. Specific concentrations are included in the hardcopy of COA.
Background	Interleukin-1 beta (IL1 beta or IL1B) also known as catabolin, is a member of the interleukin 1 cytokine family. IL1 is a pleiotropic cytokine. It is involved in the inflammatory response, cell growth, and tissue repair in the cortex. The IL1 superfamily consists of three members, IL1A (IL1 alpha), IL1B (IL1 beta), and IL1 receptor antagonist (IL1Ra). In clinical, it has been reported that Interleukin (IL)-1 may influence Th1 / Th2 immune responsiveness and has been implicated in the establishment of successful pregnancy. Proinflammatory interleukin (IL)-1 gene polymorphisms associated with high levels of IL-1beta activity increase the risk for hypochlorhydria and distal gastric carcinoma. IL1B polymorphisms may be involved in susceptibility to SSc. Moreover, the IL2-384-G allele may be a marker for the limited phenotype of systemic sclerosis (SSc).
