Rat IL-1β ELISA Kit
IL-1 RI binds directly to IL-1 alpha or IL-1 beta and then associates with IL-1 R accessory protein (IL-1 R3/IL-1 R AcP) to form a high-affinity receptor complex that is competent for signal transduction. IL-1 RII has high affinity for IL-1 beta but functions as a decoy receptor and negative regulator of IL-1 beta activity. IL-1ra functions as a competitive antagonist by preventing IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta from interacting with IL-1 RI. The human IL-1 beta cDNA encodes a 269 aa precursor. A 116 aa propeptide is cleaved intracellularly by the cysteine protease IL-1 beta -converting enzyme (Caspase-1/ICE) to generate the active cytokine. The 17 kDa mature human IL-1 beta shares 96% aa sequence identity with rhesus and 67%-78% with canine, cotton rat, equine, feline, mouse, porcine, and rat IL-1 beta.

Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested twenty times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested six times on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
The spike recovery was evaluated by spiking 3 levels of rat IL-1 beta into health rat serum sample. The un-spiked serum was used as blank in these experiments.
The recovery ranged from 83% to 110% with an overall mean recovery of 92%.

Serum/Plasma – Thirty samples from apparently healthy rats were evaluated for the presence of IL-6 in this assay. No medical histories were available for the donors.
n.d. = non-detectable. Samples measured below the sensitivity are considered to be non-detectable.
