Introduction
Interleukin-1 Beta (IL-1β) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine predominantly produced by activated macrophages. It plays a pivotal role in mediating immune and inflammatory responses by inducing the expression of various genes involved in inflammation, immunity, and hematopoiesis. IL-1β is synthesized as an inactive precursor and requires cleavage by caspase-1 to become active. Dysregulation of IL-1β production or signaling is associated with various pathological conditions, including autoimmune diseases, chronic inflammatory diseases, and sepsis.

Activity
Stimulating cell growth significantly. Measured in a cell proliferation assay using TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The EC50 for this effect is 5.8 ng/mL.


Storage/Stability
Upon arrival, the lyophilized protein may be stored for 2 weeks at 4°C. For long term storage, it is recommended to store desiccated below -20°C in a manual defrost freezer. Following reconstitution, the protein may be stored for 2 weeks under sterile conditions at -20°C. For long term storage, it is recommended to make appropriate aliquots and store at -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
