Description: Interleukin-18, also called Interferon-gamma-inducing factor (IGIF), augments natural killer (NK) activity in spleen cells. The gene encodes a precursor protein of 192 amino acids and a mature protein of 157 amino acids. IL-18 is a cytokine that modulates both T helper type 1 (Th1) and Th2 responses. It is a potent proinflammatory cytokine with potential atherogenic properties. It is highly expressed in the atherosclerotic plaques compared with control normal arteries and is localized mainly in plaque macrophages.
Immunogen: Rat partial recombinant protein (AA 37-194) was used as the immunogen for this IL-18 antibody.
Storage: After reconstitution, the IL-18 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
