IL-18BP Protein, Human, Recombinant (His & Avi), Biotinylated

Cytokines were the first modern immunotherapies to produce durable responses in patients with advanced cancer, components of the interleukin-18 (IL-18) pathway are upregulated on tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes, suggesting that IL-18 therapy could enhance anti-tumour immunity. IL-18BP, a high-affinity IL-18 decoy receptor, is frequently upregulated in diverse human and mouse tumours and limits the anti-tumour activity of IL-18 in mice. IL-18BP Protein, Human, Recombinant (His & Avi), Biotinylated is expressed in HEK293 mammalian cells with C-His-Avi tag. The predicted molecular weight is 20.5 kDa and the accession number is O95998-2.
