Product Specific Information

Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

This antibody is primarily directed against mature 18,000 MW mouse IL-18 and is useful in determining its presence in various assays. This antibody will also recognize the 24,000 inactive precursor form of mouse IL-18. In general, this antibody also detects rat IL-18 in the same formats using similar dilutions. A control of similarly diluted LOW ENDOTOXIN CONTROL RABBIT IgG (code # 011-001-297) is recommended.

Target Information

The protein encoded by this gene is a proinflammatory cytokine. This cytokine can induce the IFN-gamma production of T cells. The combination of this cytokine and IL12 has been shown to inhibit IL4 dependent IgE and IgG1 production, and enhance IgG2a production of B cells. IL-18 binding protein can specifically interact with this cytokine, and thus negatively regulate its biological activity.
