ABOUT
Human IL-1β protein - Mammalian cell-expressed, tag-free, carrier-free
Recombinant human IL-1β is a high-quality and biologically active cytokine, validated using proprietary IL-1β reporter cells. This member of the IL-1/TIR cytokine superfamily is produced in CHO cells to ensure protein glycosylation and bona fide 3D structure.
Recombinant human IL-1β can be used together with HEK-Blue™ IL-1β cells for the screening of inhibitory molecules, such as Nidanilimab, a therapeutic monoclonal antibody targeting IL-1β receptor (see figures).

- Screening and release assays for engineered IL-1β proteins
Interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β) is a secreted pro-inflammatory cytokine that generates systemic and local responses to infection and injury. Dysregulated production of IL-1β contributes to inflammatory diseases such as cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome (CAPS), familial mediterranean fever (FMF), and systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA).

Details
IL‑1 is a secreted pro‑inflammatory cytokine that plays a critical role in immune responses and inflammation [1]. It exists in two distinct isoforms, IL-1α and IL-1β, which are produced as pro-proteins by activated macrophages. IL-1β is cleaved by caspase-1 [2] while IL-1α is cleaved by calcium‑activated calpain or caspase-5 (or its murine ortholog caspase-11) [3]. In contrast to pro‑IL‑1β, pro-IL-1α is active, although cleavage dramatically enhances its bioactivity. IL-1β and IL-1α bind to the same receptor, IL-1R1, triggering the formation of the IL-1R1/IL-1R3/MyD88 complex. This induces signaling leading to the activation of the transcription factors NK-κB and AP-1 with the subsequent inflammatory response [4].
