The antibody will neutralize the biological activity of recombinant human IL-18 receptor.
Immunogen
recombinant human IL-18 receptor extracellular domain, expressed in NS0 cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
IL-18 belongs to the IL-1 cytokine superfamily and is a regulator of innate and acquired immune responses. The immune responses of IL-18 are mediated by its interaction and subsequent signaling by IL-18 receptor complex. The IL-18R complex is made up of α chain that binds to extracellular IL-18 and a β chain that is involved in signal transduction. The IL-18/IL-18R signaling enhances T and NK cell maturation, cytotoxicity and secretion of cytokines.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline with 5% trehalose.

IL-18 is among the cytokines responsible for immune-mediated pathologies and is probably one of the factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Identification of the causes of uncontrolled IL-18 production and activity in autoimmunity would allow for novel
Journal of leukocyte biology, 73(2), 213-224 (2003-01-30)
Interleukin-18 (IL-18), a recently described member of the IL-1 cytokine superfamily, is now recognized as an important regulator of innate and acquired immune responses. IL-18 is expressed at sites of chronic inflammation, in autoimmune diseases, in a variety of cancers
