Rabbit Anti-Porcine IL-1 beta pAb

Purification: Purified from rabbit serum by Protein G chromatography. Immunogen: Recombinant porcine IL-1 beta Specificity: This antibody recognizes porcine IL-1beta. It shows no cross-reactivity with porcine IL-1alpha. IL-1 beta and IL-1alpha have very similar biological activities on many different cell types although they are derived from different genes and share only ca.20% amino acid sequence homology. IL-1 beta is synthesized as pro-IL-1 beta in cells and is cleaved to produce active IL-1 beta by Interleukin-1 beta converting enzyme (ICE), a cytoplasmic cysteine protease which is also known as caspase-1. Species Reactivity: Porcine. Other species were not tested.
