Product Name :
IL18BP polyclonal antibody Background :
IL-18 (also referred to as IL-1γ) has been shown to augment the secretion of IFN-γ from T lymphocytes and to increase NK cell activity in spleen cells. IL-18 exhibits 19% and 12% identity with IL-1α and IL-β, respectively, over the twelve β-strands of the β-trefoil fold domain, which is a signature feature of the IL-1 family. The unusual leader sequence of IL-18 may be analogous to the IL-1β pro-domain, which must be cleaved by the serine protease ICE for optimal secretion and biological activity. IL-18, which was originally described as IGIF (IFN-γ-inducing factor), IL-18 is induced in mouse liver subsequent to challenge with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) functions as an inhibitor of the early Th1 response by binding to IL-18 and inhibiting IFN-γ production. IL-18BP is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily and shares some homology to IL-1RII. Product :

Describe :

Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.
