Protocol Available protocols: Western Blotting, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin) Specificity / Sensitivity IL-1 beta (3A6) Mouse Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total IL-1β protein. Species Reactivity: Human, Mouse Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with recombinant human IL-1β protein. Background Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), one of the major caspase-1 targets, is a multifunctional cytokine that is involved in a host of immune and proinflammatory responses (1). It is produced primarily by activated monocytes and macrophages. It signals through various adaptor proteins and kinases that lead to activation of numerous downstream targets (2-6). Human IL-1β is synthesized as a 31 kDa precursor. To gain activity, the precursor must be cleaved by caspase-1 between Asp116 and Ala117 to yield a 17 kDa mature form (7,8). Detection of the 17 kDa mature form of IL-1β is a good indicator of caspase-1 activity.
