Cat. No.  | MABL-2044  | 
Name  | Anti-IL-18 mAbs  | 
Clone No.  | AFD- E1  | 
From  | Recombinant Antibody  | 
Isotype  | Engineer antibody  | 
Application  | neutralizing, WB, ELISA  | 
Species Reactivity  | Chicken  | 
Basic Information  | |
Specificity  | The antibody binds specifically to chicken IL-18, a cytokine that is produced by macrophages and other cells, and shows synergistic action with IL-12 to induce strong cell-mediated immunity following infection with microbial products, such as lipopolysaccharide.  | 
Alternative Name  | IGIF; Interleukin 18; interferon-y inducing factor; chIL18; Interleukin-18; IL 18; Chicken IL-18  | 
UniProt  | Q9I8D2  | 
Immunogen  | The original antibody was raised by immunizing BALB/c mice with recombinant chicken IL-18.  | 
Application Notes  | The specificity of the original antibody was confirmed by ELISA analysis. The antibody detected the recombinant chIL-18 by western blot analysis. The antibody neutralizes the biological function of chIL18 in HD11 cell and reduced IL-18-induced IFN-production by primary splenocytes. (Hong et al, 2010; pmid: 20674988).  |

Note on publication  | The paper describes the generation of the antibody, which is capable of detecting chIL18, and can be used for basic and applied research in poultry.  |
