Description
Human IL-1α, also called lymphocyte activating factor (LAF), endogenous pyrogen (EP), leucocyte endogenous mediator (LEM), and mononuclear cell factor (MCF), is produced by a wide variety of cells, including macrophages, dendritic cells, T cells and B cells. IL-1α is mostly cell associated and has only 20% 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. Recombinant human IL-1α is biologically active. The intended use of the Recombinant Human IL-1α Single-Use ELISA RSG Standard is as a standard for human IL-1α Ready-SET-Go! ELISA and human IL-1α matched antibody pair ELISA. Typically the standard is run in a series of 7 doubling dilutions from the ‘top’ standard described below.
Instructions for use:
For Ready-SET-Go! ELISA Set (TMB substrate). Dilution: Add 10 ul of standard solution to 10 ml of assay diluent to prepare the top standard solution (1000 pg/ml).
For matched antibody pair ELISA (ABTS or Super AquaBlue substrate). Dilution: Add 20 ul of standard solution to 10 ml of assay diluent to prepare the top standard solution (2000 pg/ml).
Note: These are single-use vials. Use one time and discard. Dilute as suggested above, not difficult-to-measure fractions of the suggested volumes (e.g., not 0.5 ul in 1.0 ml) or recovery may not be accurate. Use within 6 hours of dilution to top standard concentration.
Applications Tested
This cytokine standard has been calibrated and tested by sandwich ELISA using the human IL-1α ELISA pair (CRM8/CRM6).
