Active Recombinant Human IL18, His tagged

• Cat.No.: IL18-490H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human Interleukin-18/IL-18 is produced by our mammalian expression system in human cells. The target protein is expressed with sequence (Tyr37-Asp193) of Human IL-18 fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

Specification

• Description: Interleukin-18 is a secreted protein and it belongs to the IL-1 family. IL-18 is a proinflammatory cytokine and produced by macrophages and other cells. This cytokine can induce the IFN-gamma production of T cells. The combination of this cytokine and IL12 has been shown to inhibit IL-4 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. After stimulation with IL-18, natural killer (NK) cells and certain T cells release another important cytokine called interferon-γ (IFN-γ) or type II interferon that plays an important role in activating the macrophages or other cells.
