Detailed product information

Background information

IL-1β is mainly secreted by monocytes and macrophages. IL-1β secretion has also been reported for a variety of other cells, including B cells, NK cells, dendritic cells, astrocytes, and microglial cells. IL-1β acts also on nonimmune system cells such as fibroblasts, vascular endothelial cells, and hepatocytes.

Applications

MACS GMP Recombinant Human IL-1β can be used for a variety of applications, including the
ex vivo
generation of human dendritic cells from enriched CD14
+
monocyte populations.

Technical specifications
  • Identity/ Molecular mass: 17377 Da, determined by mass spectrometry. This corresponds to the mature form of human IL-1β (153 amino acids).
  • Purity: ≥ 97 % as determined by chip electrophoresis.
  • Endotoxin content: < 50 EU/mg, as determined by kinetic Limulus Amoebocyte Lysate (LAL) assay (Pharmacopoeia Europaea (Ph. Eur.)).
  • Residual host cell DNA content: < 5 ng/mg, as determined by quantitative PCR specific for E. coli genomic DNA.
  • Residual host cell protein content: < 0.5 µg/mg, as determined by E. coli HCP ELISA.

Biological activity

  • The specific activity is determined by proliferation assay according to Poole and Gaines-Das
    1
    using D10.G4.1 cells provided by the German Resource Centre for Biological Material (DSMZ). The proliferation assay was calibrated with the first international reference standard for human IL-1β (NIBSC code 86/680) provided by the National Institute for Biological Standards and Control.
  • Minimal specific activity: ≥ ≥ 2×
