Human il 1β

Manufactured by R&D Systems
Sourced in United States

Human IL-1β is a recombinant human cytokine that functions as a pro-inflammatory mediator. It is a member of the interleukin-1 family and is primarily produced by activated macrophages, dendritic cells, and other immune cells in response to various stimuli. This protein plays a crucial role in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
For analyses of IL-1 β, IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α, the blood samples were collected from the patients at 8 am after an overnight fast. The serum samples were immediately centrifuged and were stored at -80°C until further determination. IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-8 were determined with the commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits (human IL-1β: R&D Systems INC., Minnesota, USA; human IL-6: high sensitivity enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Immunotech S. A, Marseille, France; human IL-8: enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay; BD Bioscience, La Jolla, CA) as previously described [17 (link), 18 (link)]. The serum samples were stored in -80°C until further determination, and the serum levels of TNF-α were determined by a high sensitivity enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit (Biosource, International, Inc.) according to the manufacturer's instructions [19 (link)]. The serum levels of high sensitive C reaction protein (hs-CRP) were analyzed with a commercially available assay kit (hs-CRP test kits, Millipore Corp, Billerica, MA, USA), and the levels of hs-CRP were expressed as mg/L.

Investigating Cytokine Regulation by KW3110

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Cells were seeded and incubated overnight in 24-well plates (J774A.1 cells, 1 × 105 cells/well; human monocytes, 2.5 × 105 cells/well), and treated with KW3110 (1.25–5 μg/mL for J774A.1 cells and 100 μg/mL for human monocytes) for 24 h at 37 ˚C. To measure IL-1β, the cells were treated with 1 μg/mL of IL-10 or primed with 10 μg/mL of LPS for 4 h, and stimulated with 2 mM ATP for 1 h. For the supernatant transferal experiments, in Fig 1B, the supernatants collected from KW3110-treated J774A.1 cells were transferred to other cells which were then primed with 10 μg/mL of LPS for 4 h and stimulated with 2 mM ATP for 1 h. For the phagocytosis blocking experiments, 1 μg/mL of cytochalasin D was added 30 min prior to KW3110 treatment of J774A.1 cells. The supernatants were then collected and centrifuged at 5,000 rpm for 2 min. Cytokine levels were measured with commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits (mouse and human IL-10, BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA; mouse IL-1β, eBioscience, San Diego, CA, USA; human IL-1β, R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN, USA), according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

ARPE-19 human RPE cells obtained from ATCC (Manassas, VA) were grown to confluence as we reported earlier [8 (link), 9 (link)]. The cells were treated with the proinflammatory cytokines IFN-γ (10 u/ml), IL-1β (1 ng/ml) and TNF-α (1 ng/ml) in the absence of serum for 16 h unless otherwise indicated. The cells were pre-incubated with Resveratrol (50 μM) for 4 hours also in the absence of serum prior to the cytokine treatment when required. Resveratrol was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO and dissolved in ethanol before adding to cell culture medium. Equal volume of ethanol was added to controls. Human IL-1β was purchased from R&D Systems, Minneapolis, MN while TNF-α and IFN-γ were from Roche Applied Science, Indianapolis, IN.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
