Additional Info
| Function | Pro-inflammatory cytokine primarily involved in epithelial barrier repair, polarized T-helper 1 (Th1) cell and natural killer (NK) cell immune responses. Upon binding to IL18R1 and IL18RAP, forms a signaling ternary complex which activates NF-kappa-B, triggering synthesis of inflammatory mediators. Synergizes with IL12/interleukin-12 to induce IFNG synthesis from T-helper 1 (Th1) cells and natural killer (NK) cells. Involved in transduction of inflammation downstream of pyroptosis: its mature form is specifically released in the extracellular milieu by passing through the gasdermin-D (GSDMD) pore. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Rat IL-18 (Interleukin-18) Antibody Pair (STJAP00092)
This antibody pair detects rat Interleukin-18 (IL-18), corresponding to UniProt entry P97636. Reactivity has been confirmed for rat only.
Both antibodies are polyclonal, raised in goat, and supplied at 0.5 mg/mL. The capture antibody is unconjugated, while the detection antibody is biotinylated. Both are formulated in PBS with 0.04% Proclin 300 and 50% glycerol at pH 7.4.
This antibody pair has been validated for use in ELISA. No other assay formats are listed in the product specifications.
Both antibodies were raised against recombinant rat IL-18 protein. Both were subsequently purified by antigen affinity chromatography.
Both components should be stored at -20 degrees C for long-term storage. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided to maintain antibody integrity.
