Interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1α) is a member of the IL-1 family and a dual-function cytokine. Both the unprocessed precursor and a processed IL-1α protein signal through IL-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1). Various cells, including keratinocytes, thymic epithelium, hepatocytes, endothelial cells, fibroblasts, and the epithelial cells of mucous membranes have high levels of intracellular IL-1α precursor, which is also expressed on the surface of monocytes and B lymphocytes (Netea et al.). IL-1α recruits infiltrating cells to a site of injury during necrosis and plays an important role during processes of sterile inflammation (Rider et al.; Cohen et al.). During hypoxia, IL-1α contributes to angiogenesis (Carmi et al.). IL-1α is produced by microglia-like cells after ischemic brain injury, which contributes to the inflammation (Luheshi et al.).
(A) The biological activity of Mouse Recombinant IL-1 alpha was tested by its ability to promote the proliferation of D10.G4.1 cells. Cell
proliferation was measured after 72 hours of culture using a fluorometric assay method. The EC50 is defined as the effective
concentration of the cytokine at which cell proliferation is at 50% of maximum. The EC50 in the example above is 0.00581 ng/mL.
(B) 1 μg of Mouse Recombinant IL-1 alpha was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (+) and non-reducing (-) conditions and
visualized by Coomassie Blue staining.
