Interleukin-1 alpha(IL-1 alpha) and interleukin-1 beta(IL-1 beta) are two biochemically distinct, but distantly related, polypeptidic cytokines that play a key role in inflammation, immunologic reactions, and tissue repair. IL-1 alpha has been implicated in the pathogenesis of infectious, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. Recently, it has been shown that IL-1 alpha is identical to hematopoietin 1, which is described as a hematopoietic growth factor acting on early progenitor cells in synergy with other hematopoietic growth factors.1 The human interleukin 1 alpha gene is assigned to chromosome 2. Genetic polymorphisms at interleukin(IL)-1alpha and IL-1beta have been recently suggested to be associated with severity of adult periodontitis. The murine IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta genes encode structurally and evolutionarily related cytokines that exert a regulatory role in numerous physiological processes including hemopoiesis. The standard product used in this kit is recombinant rat IL-1alpha with the molecular mass of 18kDa.

Useful in Sandwich ELISA for Quantitative Detection of Antigen. Aliquot 0.1ml per well of the 300pg/ml, 150pg/ml, 75pg/ml, 37.5pg/ml, 18.8pg/ml, 9.4pg/ml, 4.69pg/ml rat IL-1 alpha standard solutions into the precoated 96-well plate. Add 0.1ml of the sample diluent buffer into the control well (Zero well). Add 0.1ml of each properly diluted sample of rat cell culture supernates or serum to each empty well. We recommend that each rat IL-1 alpha standard solution and each sample is measured in duplicate.
