IL-18 Antibody IL18/4626 recognizes interleukin 18 (IL-18), a proinflammatory cytokine encoded by the IL18 gene and a member of the IL-1 cytokine family. IL-18 was originally identified as interferon gamma-inducing factor (IGIF) because of its ability to stimulate interferon gamma production. It participates in innate and adaptive immune responses and can influence the activity of natural killer cells, T lymphocytes, macrophages, and other immune-cell populations.
IL-18 is synthesized as an inactive precursor that requires proteolytic processing to generate the biologically active cytokine. Caspase-1 is an important mediator of this maturation process and links IL-18 production to inflammasome activation. Mature IL-18 signals through a heterodimeric receptor composed of IL18R1 and IL18RAP. Receptor engagement activates downstream signaling involving MyD88, IRAK proteins, TRAF6, and NF-kappaB, promoting transcriptional responses associated with inflammation and immune activation.
The biological effects of IL-18 depend strongly on the surrounding cytokine environment. In cooperation with IL-12, IL-18 can strongly enhance interferon gamma production and promote type 1 immune responses. IL-18 activity is also regulated extracellularly by IL-18 binding protein, which binds the cytokine and limits its interaction with the receptor. Dysregulated IL-18 production or signaling is studied in inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, infectious disease, metabolic disorders, and cancer. An IL18 Monoclonal Antibody can support research examining cytokine expression, inflammasome-associated processes, and mechanisms connecting innate and adaptive immunity.
Clone IL18/4626 is a mouse monoclonal antibody generated against a recombinant fragment within amino acids 1-193 of human IL-18. This IL18 Monoclonal Antibody provides a defined reagent for investigating IL-18 expression and complements studies focused on inflammatory cytokine signaling and immune regulation. NSJ Bioreagents supplies clone IL18/4626 for research use only.
An IL-18 Antibody can be used to investigate interleukin 18 expression and its relationship to inflammasome activity, interferon gamma production, inflammatory signaling, innate immunity, and adaptive immune responses.
Explore our Immunology Antibodies page for additional antibodies targeting cytokines and regulators involved in inflammatory signaling, innate immunity, and adaptive immune responses.
Optimal dilution of the IL-18 Antibody IL18/4626 / IL18 Monoclonal Antibody should be determined by the researcher.
A recombinant partial protein (within amino acids 1-193) from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the IL-18 Antibody IL18/4626.
Aliquot the IL-18 Antibody IL18/4626 and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
