ZooMAb® antibodies represent an entirely new generation of recombinant monoclonal antibodies. Each ZooMAb® antibody is manufactured using our proprietary recombinant expression system, purified to homogeneity, and precisely dispensed to produce robust and highly reproducible lot-to-lot consistency. Only top-performing clones are released for use by researchers. Each antibody is validated for high specificity and affinity across multiple applications, including its most commonly used application. ZooMAb® antibodies are reliably available and ready to ship when you need them.

ターゲットの説明
Interleukin-18 (UniProt: Q14116; also known as IL-18, Iboctadekin, Interferon gamma-inducing factor, IFN-gamma-inducing factor, Interleukin-1 gamma, IL-1 gamma) is encoded by the IL18 (also known as IGIF, IL1F4) gene (Gene ID: 3606) in human. IL-18 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is shown to evoke both innate and acquired responses. It plays an important role in NK cell activation and Th1 response. It is synthesized with a propeptide (aa 1-36), which is subsequently cleaved off by caspases 1 and 4 to generate the active mature form. IL-18 is reported to be constitutively expressed in monocytes, macrophages, epithelial cells, osteoblasts, keratinocytes, and synovial fibroblasts. Its expression has also been reported in adrenal cortical cells. Mature IL-18 acts by binding to the IL-18 receptor α (IL-18α ) to form a low affinity binary complex that recruits IL-18β to form a high affinity complex that leads to the activation of NF-kB and MAP kinase pathways. IL-18 can synergize with IL-12 to induce interferon- γ synthesis from T- helper 1 and natural killer cells. This ZooMAb® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

物理的形状
Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS, 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 µL.
再構成
0.3 mg/mL after reconstitution at 25 µL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.
保管および安定性
Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 µL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
