Beschrijving
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine belonging to the IL-1 superfamily, produced by macrophages and other cell types. Mature human IL-18 shares approximately 63% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-18. In the presence of IL-12 or IL-15, it induces Th1 cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and CD4+ T cells to produce interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), thereby amplifying Type I cellular immunity. IL-18 serves as a key cytokine in the immune response against intracellular bacteria and viruses. Furthermore, IL-18 enhances the proliferation, survival, and cytotoxic activity of NK cells and macrophages by upregulating the expression of perforin, granzymes, and FasL, thereby strengthening the clearance of tumor and infected cells.
Features
High Purity: >95% purity to avoid immune responses caused by residual Host Cell Proteins (HCP) or DNA.
Ultra-Low Endotoxin: <10 EU/mg to minimize the risk of fever or inflammation.
Batch-to-Batch Consistency: Ensures stability and reproducibility in cell culture applications.
Regulatory Compliance: Meets regulatory requirements for cell therapy products and supports Investigational New Drug (IND) applications.
Animal-Origin Free (AOF): Free from animal viruses, pathogens, and exogenous factor contamination, ensuring maximum safety.
