Target data

Function

Pro-inflammatory cytokine primarily involved in epithelial barrier repair, polarized T-helper 1 (Th1) cell and natural killer (NK) cell immune responses (PubMed:26638072, PubMed:26638073). Upon binding to IL18R1 and IL18RAP, forms a signaling ternary complex which activates NF-kappa-B, triggering synthesis of inflammatory mediators (By similarity). Synergizes with IL12/interleukin-12 to induce IFNG synthesis from T-helper 1 (Th1) cells and natural killer (NK) cells (By similarity). Involved in transduction of inflammation downstream of pyroptosis: its mature form is specifically released in the extracellular milieu by passing through the gasdermin-D (GSDMD) pore (PubMed:30392956).

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-IL-18 antibody (ab191860)

    Immunohistochemistry analysis of paraffin-embedded section of rat spleen tissue labeling IL-18 antibody with ab191860 at 2μg/mL (incubation: overnight at 4°C). Biotinylated goat anti-rabbit IgG was used as secondary antibody and incubated for 30 minutes at 37°C. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed in EDTA buffer (pH8.0, epitope retrieval solution). The tissue section was blocked with 10% goat serum. The tissue section was developed using Strepavidin-Biotin-Complex (SABC) with DAB as the chromogen.
