Interleukin 18, also known as interferon-γ-inducing factor (IGIF) and IL-1γ, is a proinflammatory cytokine. It is an inducer of IFN-γ and Th1 (T cell helper type 1) responses (cell differentiation, cell-mediated cytotoxicity and inflammation). IL-18 induces the migration of microvascular endothelial cells.
Physikalische Form
Lyophilized from 20 mM Tris , 500 mM NaCl, 0.5 mM EDTA, 1 mM TCEP, 0.05% (w/v) PEG8000 pH 8.0 with 5% Trehalose,and 50 μg BSA per μg IL-18
Hinweis zur Analyse
The biological activity is measured by its ability to induce mouse IFN-γ production by activated mouse T cells.
CD4(+) T cell polarization plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of allergy. How to modulate the skewed CD4(+) T cell polarization is less clear. The specific immunotherapy (SIT) is the only specific remedy for the treatment of allergic diseases;
TL1A is a TNF-like cytokine which has been shown to co-stimulate TH1 and TH17 responses during chronic inflammation. The expression of this novel cytokine has been investigated in inflammatory disorders like rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease, but little is

The currently available animal-free methods for the detection of skin sensitizing potential of chemicals seem promising. However, no single method is able to comprehensively represent the complexity of the processes involved in skin sensitization. To ensure a mechanistic basis and
Cellular inhibitors of apoptosis proteins (cIAPs) are critical arbiters of cell death and key mediators of inflammation and innate immunity. cIAP2 is frequently overexpressed in colorectal cancer and in regenerating crypts of ulcerative colitis patients. However, its corresponding functions in
It has been recently recognized that the descending serotonin (5-HT) system from the rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) in the brainstem and the 5-HT3 receptor subtype in the spinal dorsal horn are involved in enhanced descending pain facilitation after tissue and
