IL-1β is a cytokine that plays a key role in the inflammatory response. It is involved in the regulation of immune responses, hematopoiesis, and inflammation. IL-1β is produced by activated macrophages and is a primary mediator of the body's response to injury, infection, and antigenic challenge.

Immunohistochemistry staining were performed according previous studies [14 (link),28 (link)]. Livers were paraffin-embedded and cut into 5 μM-thick sections. After that, these sections were dewaxed and rehydrated, followed by heat-induced epitope retrieval. Subsequently, sections were placed into hydrogen peroxide solution in order to suppress endogenous peroxidase activity. Then the sections were washed with PBS for three times and blocked by BSA solution. Immunohistochemical staining was conducted by incubating primary antibodies for 24 h overnight at 4 °C and then secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature. The primary antibodies used for EC toxicity animal experiments were shown as follows: Anti-TNFα (Abways, CY5992, 1:200), Anti-IL-1β (Servicebio, GB11113, 1:200), Anti-NLRP3 (Abways, CY5651, 1:200), Anti-4-HNE (Bioss, bs-10802R, 1:300).

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.
