Human IL-18BP, Fc Tag (Cat. No. ILP-H5253) captured on CM5 chip via Anti-human IgG Fc antibodies surface can bind Human IL-18, Tag Free (Cat. No. IL8-H5113) with an affinity constant of 1.71 nM as determined in a SPR assay (Biacore 8K) (Routinely tested).
Human IL-18 R1, Fc Tag (Cat. No. IL1-H5259) captured on CM5 chip via Anti-human IgG Fc antibodies surface can bind Human IL-18, Tag Free (Cat. No. IL8-H5113) with an affinity constant of 0.409 μM as determined in a SPR assay (Biacore 8K) (Routinely tested).
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine that induces interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production from Th1 cells, NK cells and activated macrophages, particularly in the presence of IL-12. IL-18 also functions in developmental regulation of T-lymphocyte helper type I cells and in Fas-mediated cytotoxicity. Suppression of IL-18 activity is being investigated for treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. It acts by inducing heterodimerization of the two subunits of its receptor, IL-18RAlpha and IL-18RBeta shows structural similarity to IL-1.
