Interleukin 18 Antibody Detection in Human A549 Lung Carcinoma Cells IF. Immunofluorescence staining of FFPE human A549 lung carcinoma cells using Interleukin 18 Antibody shows red IL-18 signal concentrated in a punctate cytoplasmic and perinuclear pattern, while beta tubulin staining is shown in green. HIER was performed by steaming sections in pH 6 citrate buffer for 20 min. The distinct IL-18 signal demonstrates detection in A549 cells using this IL-18 Polyclonal Antibody.
Interleukin 18 Antibody Staining in Human Tonsil IHC. Immunohistochemistry staining of FFPE human tonsil tissue using Interleukin 18 Antibody shows heterogeneous brown staining in scattered cells distributed throughout the lymphoid tissue, with comparatively little staining in surrounding cells. HIER was performed by boiling tissue sections in pH 8 EDTA for 20 min followed by cooling before testing. The staining demonstrates detection of IL-18 in human tonsil using this IL-18 Polyclonal Antibody.
Interleukin 18 Antibody Detects IL-18 in Human HeLa and HepG2 Cells WB. Western blot analysis of human HeLa (lane 1) and HepG2 (lane 2) cell lysates using Interleukin 18 Antibody shows strong, discrete bands at approximately 20 kDa in both samples, with minimal visible background. The observed molecular weight falls within the expected 17-24 kDa range for IL-18 and is compatible with processed IL-18 species. The consistent signal across both human cell lines demonstrates detection of IL-18 using this IL-18 Polyclonal Antibody.

Description

Interleukin 18 Antibody recognizes interleukin 18 (IL-18), a proinflammatory cytokine encoded by the IL18 gene and belonging to the IL-1 cytokine family. Originally identified as interferon gamma-inducing factor (IGIF), IL-18 participates in both innate and adaptive immunity and can influence natural killer cells, T lymphocytes, macrophages, and other immune-cell populations. Its ability to promote interferon gamma production is particularly enhanced in the presence of IL-12.

IL-18 is initially synthesized as an inactive precursor that undergoes proteolytic processing to generate the biologically active cytokine. Caspase-1 is an important mediator of IL-18 maturation, providing a functional connection between IL-18 release and inflammasome activation. Mature IL-18 signals through a receptor complex containing IL18R1 and IL18RAP. Receptor engagement recruits MyD88 and activates downstream signaling involving IRAK proteins, TRAF6, NF-kappaB, and MAPK pathways, leading to transcriptional responses associated with inflammation and immune activation.

The biological activity of IL-18 is influenced by the surrounding cytokine environment and by extracellular regulatory mechanisms. IL-18 binding protein (IL18BP) acts as a naturally occurring inhibitor by binding IL-18 and limiting its interaction with the receptor. Altered IL-18 production and signaling are studied in inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, infectious disease, metabolic disorders, and cancer. An IL-18 Polyclonal Antibody can support research examining IL-18 expression and the relationship between inflammatory cytokine production, inflammasome activity, and immune-cell responses.

This Interleukin 18 Antibody is a rabbit polyclonal antibody generated against a recombinant fragment corresponding to amino acids 37-193 of human IL-18. The polyclonal format provides a population of antibodies recognizing the immunizing IL-18 region and offers a complementary reagent to monoclonal antibodies directed against this cytokine. NSJ Bioreagents supplies this antibody for research use only.

An Interleukin 18 Antibody can be used to investigate IL-18 expression and its relationship to inflammasome activity, interferon gamma production, inflammatory signaling, innate immunity, and adaptive immune responses.

Application Notes

The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the Interleukin 18 Antibody / IL-18 Polyclonal Antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.

Immunogen

Human partial recombinant protein (AA 37-193) was used as the immunogen for this Interleukin 18 Antibody.

Storage

After reconstitution, the Interleukin 18 Antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

Alternate Names

IL-18 antibody, IL18 antibody, interferon gamma-inducing factor antibody, IGIF antibody, IL-1 gamma antibody
