Function

Inhibits the activity of interleukin-1 by binding to receptor IL1R1 and preventing its association with the coreceptor IL1RAP for signaling. Has no interleukin-1 like activity. Binds functional interleukin-1 receptor IL1R1 with greater affinity than decoy receptor IL1R2; however, the physiological relevance of the latter association is unsure.

Notes

Human IL-1ra ELISA Kit (ab211650) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of IL-1ra protein in milk, plasma, saliva, serum, urine, cell culture extracts, tissue extracts, and cell culture supernatant. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human IL-1ra with 4 pg/ml sensitivity.

SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:

- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips

A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (Pre-coated 384 well Microplate SimpleStep ELISA® ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra, also known as IL-1F3) is a member of the IL-1 cytokine family. IL-1ra inhibits the activity of interleukin-1 by binding to receptor IL1R1 and preventing its association with the coreceptor IL1RAP for signaling. However, IL-1ra has no interleukin-1 like activity. It binds functional interleukin-1 receptor IL1R1 with greater affinity than decoy receptor IL1R2; however, the physiological relevance of the latter association is unsure.

    Interpolated concentrations of native IL-1Ra in human serum and plasma samples.

    The concentrations of IL-1Ra were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the IL-1Ra standard curves and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: serum 100%, plasma (EDTA) 100%, plasma (heparin) 100%; and plasma (citrate) 100%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean IL-1Ra concentration was determined to be 276 pg/mL in serum, 239 pg/mL in plasma (EDTA) and 233 pg/mL in plasma (heparin) and 170 pg/mL in plasma (citrate).
