Human IL-1 β ELISA Kit

Uses

For research use only. Not for use in diagnostic procedures.
Human IL-1 β ELISA kit has been used to measure the concentration of interleukin 1β (IL-1 β) in cell culture supernatants.

General Description

The Human IL-1 β ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) kit is an in vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of human IL-1 β in serum, plasma, cell culture supernatants and urine.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Interleukin 1β (IL-1 β) is a proinflammatory cytokine, which is implicated in induction of various acute and chronic inflammation. Hence, IL1B can be considered as a potential therapeutic target for disease associated with fibrosis and tissue remodeling. IL-1β protein increases the production of endogenous 92kDa gelatinase (matrix metalloproteinases 9 (MMP-9)) and tissue inhibitors of MMP (TIMP -1). Elevated concentration of IL-1β in synovial fluid contributes to the pathogenesis of synovitis and degenerative changes of the cartilaginous tissue and bone of the temporomandibular joint. IL-1β brings neutrophil and macrophage to the site of infection. Mutations in IL-1β gene are linked with renal manifestations and renal sequelae in Henoch-Sch?nlein purpura (HSP).
