Product Summary
The Quantikine Rat IL-1 beta Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure rat IL-1 beta in cell culture supernates, serum, and EDTA plasma. It contains recombinant rat IL-1 beta and antibodies raised against recombinant rat IL-1 beta. This immunoassay has been shown to quantitate the recombinant rat factor accurately.
Precision
Intra-Assay Precision (Precision within an assay) Three samples of known concentration were tested on one plate to assess intra-assay precision.
Inter-Assay Precision (Precision between assays) Three samples of known concentration were tested in separate assays to assess inter-assay precision.

CV% | 8.8 | 3.9 | 3.9 | 5.7 | 4.1 | 4.4 |
Recovery
The recovery of rat IL-1 beta spiked to three levels throughout the range of the assay in various matrices was evaluated.
Sample Type | Average % Recovery | Range % |
Cell Culture Supernates (n=5) | 100 | 89-110 |
EDTA Plasma (n=5) | 98 | 89-111 |
Serum (n=5) | 108 | 97-120 |
Linearity
To assess the linearity of the assay, five or more samples spiked with various concentrations of rat IL-1 beta in each matrix were diluted with Calibrator Diluent and then assayed.
Preparation and Storage
Background: IL-1 beta/IL-1F2
IL-1 beta (Interleukin-1 beta) is produced in response to inflammatory agents, infections, or microbial endotoxins. It plays a central role in immune and inflammatory responses, bone remodeling, fever, carbohydrate metabolism, and GH/IGF-I physiology. IL-1 beta dysregulation is implicated in many pathological conditions including sepsis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, acute and chronic myelogenous leukemia, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, atherosclerosis, neuronal injury, and aging-related diseases. Intracellular cleavage of the IL-1 beta precursor by Caspase-1/ICE is a key step in the inflammatory response. IL-1 beta binds to IL-1 RI and IL-1 RII. The IL-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1 RAcP) associates with IL-1 RI and is required for IL-1 RI signal transduction, and IL-1ra is a secreted molecule that functions as a competitive inhibitor of IL-1 bioactivity.
