Description

The ALF-161 antibody reacts with mouse interleukin-1α (IL-1α). Mouse IL-1α, also called Lymphocyte Activating Factor (LAF), Endogenous Pyrogen (EP), Leukocyte Endogenous Mediator (LEM), and Mononuclear Cell Factor (MCF), is a 17 kDa factor produced by a wide variety of cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, T and B cells. IL-1α is mostly cell-associated, with 23% amino acid homology with IL-1β. The immune regulatory role of IL-1α is exerted on a wide range of cells including lymphocytes, epithelial cells and fibroblasts. In vivo, it induces hypotension, fever, and acute phase response.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The ALF-161 antibody has been reported for use in ELISA capture, ELISPOT capture, neutralization, and intracellular staining for flow cytometry.

Applications Tested

The ALF-161 antibody has been tested as the capture antibody in a sandwich ELISA for analysis of mouse Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) in combination with the biotin anti-mouse Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1a) polyclonal (13-7111) antibody for detection and recombinant mouse IL-1a (14-8011) as the standard. A suitable range of concentrations of this antibody for ELISA capture is 1-4 µg/ml. A standard curve consisting of doubling dilutions of the recombinant standard over the range of 1000pg/ml - 8pg/ml should be included in each ELISA plate.
