This cytokine can induce the IFN-gamma production of T cells. The combination of IL-18 and IL12 has been shown to inhibit IL4 dependent IgE and IgG1 production; and enhance IgG2a production of B cells. IL-18 binding protein (IL18BP) can specifically interact with this cytokine; and thus negatively regulate its biological activity. IL-18 is an IL-1−like cytokine that requires cleavage with caspase-1 to become active; was found to increase IgE production in a CD4+ T cells-; IL-4− and STAT6−dependent fashion. IL-18 and T cell receptor−mediated stimulation could induce naïve CD4+ T cells to develop into IL-4−producing cells in vitro. Thus; caspase-1 and IL-18 may be critical in regulation of IgE production in vivo; providing a potential therapeutic target for allergic disorders. IL-18 production in primary synovial cultures and purified synovial fibroblasts was; in turn; upregulated by TNF-α and IL-1β; suggesting that monokine expression can feed back to promote Th1 cell development in synovial membrane. Besides; synergistic combinations of IL-18; IL-12; and IL-15 may be of importance in sustaining both Th1 responses and monokine production in RA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eConcentration\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eActivity\u003c\/b\u003e: Not validated for activity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSequence\u003c\/b\u003e: Met 1-Asp 193\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePurity\u003c\/b\u003e:  \u0026gt; 85 % as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormulation\u003c\/b\u003e: Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.5\u003cbr\u003eNormally 5% - 8% trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization.\u003cbr\u003ePlease refer to the specific buffer information in the printed manual.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eReconstitution\u003c\/b\u003e: Please refer to the printed manual for detailed information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEndotoxin\u003c\/b\u003e: Please contact us for more information.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCalculated MW\u003c\/b\u003e: 48.6 kDa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eObservedMW\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GeneBio Systems","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47972815994980,"sku":"PKSH030306","price":553.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0558\/8588\/9636\/files\/no_image_default_image-jpeg_736ab9ae-a014-4a1e-8a80-2787d8ce4c5a.jpg?v=1772197581","url":"https:\/\/www.genebiosystems.com\/en-gb\/products\/recombinant-human-interleukin-18-il-18-protein-gst-tag","provider":"GeneBio ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
