Rat IL-1 alpha Platinum ELISA

Description: The rat IL-1alpha ELISA is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative detection of rat IL-1alpha. The rat IL-1alpha ELISA is for research use only. Not for diagnostic or therapeutic procedures.

The interleukin-1 species represent an important family of biologically active mono nuclear cell-derived proteins which are involved in inflammatory reactions and in immune responses. Two distinct IL-1 species, IL-1alpha and IL-1beta, have been identified. They share similarities such as the same molecular weight, similar biological effects and the same receptors on target cells. IL-1 proteins are produced by macrophages, monocytes and various other cell types such as adult T cell leukemias, fibroblasts, epithelial or endothelial cells, neutrophils and astrocytes. Their biological properties include pyrogenicity, bone resorption, presentation of antigen to T cells and stimulation of B and T lymphocyte proliferation.
