Human Interleukin-18-Binding Protein (IL-18BP) ELISA Kit

Human Interleukin-18-Binding Protein (IL-18BP) ELISA Kit

This ELISA kit is designed to detect Human Interleukin-18-Binding Protein (Human IL-18BP). The assay plate has been pre-coated with mouse anti-Human IL18BP monoclonal antibody. When the sample containing IL18BP is added to the plate, it binds to the antibodies coated on the wells. Then, a horseradish peroxidase conjugated mouse anti-Human IL18BP Antibody is added to the wells and binds to IL18BP in the sample. After washing the wells, substrate solutions are added, and the color intensity is directly proportional to the amount of Human IL18BP present. The reaction is stopped by adding an acidic stop solution, and the absorbance is measured at 450 nm.

Background Interleukin-18-binding protein (IL-18BP) is a constitutively expressed and secreted protein. IL-18BP is a cytokine receptor that belongs to the interleukin 1 receptor family. This receptor specifically binds interleukin 18 (IL18) and is essential for IL18 mediated signal transduction. IFN-alpha and IL12 are reported to induce the expression of this receptor in NK and T cells. This gene along with four other members of the interleukin 1 receptor family, including IL1R2, IL1R1, ILRL2 (IL-1Rrp2), and IL1RL1 (T1/ST2), form a gene cluster on chromosome 2q. The adjacently located family members IL18 Receptor 1 (IL18R1) and IL18 receptor accessory protein (IL18RAP) may also be important in the development of asthma and atopy. IL-18 binding protein (IL-18BP) was only moderately elevated, resulting in a high level of biologically active free IL-18 in HPS. A severe IL-18/IL-18BP imbalance results in Th-1 lymphocyte and macrophage activation, which escapes control by NK-cell cytotoxicity and may allow for secondary HPS in patients with underlying diseases.
