Nori Hamster IL-1a ELISA Kit

DataSheet   

This ELISA kit is for quantification of IL-1A in hamster. This is a quick ELISA assay that reduces time to 50% compared to the conventional method, and the entire assay only takes 3 hours. This assay employs the quantitative sandwich enzyme immunoassay technique and uses biotin-streptavidin chemistry to improve the performance of the assays. An antibody specific for IL-1A has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and any IL-1A present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After washing away any unbound substances, a detection antibody specific for IL-1A is added to the wells. Following wash to remove any unbound antibody reagent, a detection reagent is added. After intensive wash a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of IL-1A bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped, and the intensity of the color is measured.

Alternative names for IL-1a: Interleukin 1 alpha, IL1A

Background:

Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) is a protein of the interleukin-1 family that in humans is encoded by the IL1A gene.[1] In general, Interleukin 1 is responsible for the production of inflammation, as well as the promotion of fever and sepsis. IL-1α inhibitors are being developed to interrupt those processes and treat diseases. IL-1α is produced mainly by activated macrophages, as well as neutrophils, epithelial cells, and endothelial cells. It possesses metabolic, physiological, haematopoietic activities, and plays one of the central roles in the regulation of the immune responses. IL1A has been shown to interact with HAX1,[2] and NDN.[3] It binds to the interleukin-1 receptor. [4] It is on the pathway that activates tumor necrosis factor-alpha.  IL-1α precursor does not contain a signal peptide fragment. After processing by the removal of N-terminal amino acids by specific proteases, primarily by calpain, a calcium-activated cysteine protease.[5] Both the 31kDa precursor and 18kDa mature form of IL-1α are biologically active. It is found in substantial amounts in normal human epidermis and is distributed in a 1:1 ratio between living epidermal cells and stratum corneum.[6] The constitutive production of large amounts of IL-1α precursor by healthy epidermal keratinocytes interfere with the important role of IL-1α in immune responses, assuming skin as a barrier, which prevents the entry of pathogenic microorganisms into the body. The essential role of IL-1α in maintenance of skin barrier function, especially with increasing age,[7] is an additional explanation of IL-1α constitutive production in epidermis. IL-1α has been administered to patients during receiving autologous bone marrow transplantation.[8] The treatment with 50 ng/kg IL-1α from day zero of autologous bone marrow or stem cells transfer resulted in an earlier recovery of thrombocytopenia compared with historical controls. There is currently a head and neck phase III trial being run by Cel-Sci Corp. involving IL-1a and many other interleukins (Multikine) as an immunotherapy.
