IL-1-beta Interleukin-1 beta Porcine Recombinant Protein

Catabolin; Lymphocyte-activating factor (LAF) ; Endogenous Pyrogen (EP) ; Leukocyte Endogenous Mediator (LEM) ; Mononuclear Cell Factor (MCF) ; IL1F2; IL-1 beta

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized IL 1 beta in sterile distilled H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Potent proinflammatory cytokine. Initially discovered as the major endogenous pyrogen, induces prostaglandin synthesis, neutrophil influx and activation, T-cell activation and cytokine production, B-cell activation and antibody production, and fibroblast proliferation and collagen production.

Lyophilized IL 1 beta although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution IL 1 beta should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) . Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
