IL-1 ELISA Kit

Storage Instruction:Store the kit at 4°C.
Description:
Interleukin 1 (IL-1) consists of two proteins, IL-1 and IL-1. Each is synthesized as a  31 kDa precursor that are subsequently cleaved into an approximately 17.5 kDa protein. IL-1  and IL-1 are the products of two distinct genes, but recognize the same cell surface receptors. 
The primary amino acid homology of mature human IL-12 to mature IL-1 is 22%. With the  exception of skin keratinocytes, some epithelial cells, and certain cells of the central nervous  system, IL-1 is not produced by the cells of healthy individuals. However, in response to stimuli  such as those produced by inflammatory agents, infections, or microbial endotoxins, a  dramatic increase in the production of IL-1 by macrophages and various other cell types is  observed.
