Antibodies for Western Blots were against mouse IL-1β (R&D Systems), caspase-1 p10 (sc-514; Santa Cruz Biotechnology), NLRP3 (Cryo2; Enzo Life Sciences), β-actin (C4; Santa Cruz Biotechnology) and GAPDH (6C5; EMD Millopore). ELISA kits were purchased for mouse IL-1β (BD Biosciences), pro-IL-1β and TNF-α (eBioscience). Ultrapure LPS was from Salmonella minnesota (Invivogen). Poly(deoxyadenylic-deoxythymidylic) acid and nigericin were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). Silica crystals (MIN- U-SIL 15) were obtained from U.S. Silica (Frederick, MD). Cholesterol crystals were synthesized by acetone supersaturation and cooling (6 (link)), Alum (Imject alum adjuvant; a mixture of aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide) was from Pierce Biotechnology, and Leu-Leu-OMe-HCl was from Chem-Impex International. ZVAD-FMK and Ca-074-Me were from Enzo Life Sciences and K777 was initially gifted to us by Stephanie A. Robertson and James H. McKerrow at UCSF, and further stocks obtained through services from the NHLBI’s SMARTT Program. Lipofectamine 2000, RNAiMax and all siRNA smart pools were from Life Technologies and Endoporter was from Gene Tools.

Measuring Inflammatory Cytokines: ELISA Protocols

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
ELISA kits were used to measure IL-1β, IL-1α, IL-33 (DY401, R&D Systems, Wiesbaden-Nordenstadt, Germany), HMGB1 (Cedarlane Laboratories USA Inc., Burlington, USA) and pro-IL-1β (e-Biosciences). Assays were run according to the manufacturer's protocols with a detection limit of 5 pg/ml for IL-1β, IL-1α, IL-33, 0,2 ng/ml for HMGB1 and 25 pg/ml for pro-IL-1β

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.
