Description

Biochem/physiol Actions

Interleukin-1 (IL-1), originally known as Lymphocyte Activating Factor (LA F), activates T cells and lymphocytes, which then proliferate and secrete Interleukin-2 (IL-2). The proliferative activity of human IL-1α is tested in culture using the murine cell line D10S.

Physical form

Lyophilized from 0.2 μm filtered phosphate buffered saline containing 0.25 mg of bovine serum albumin.

Analysis Note

The biological activity of recombinant rat IL-1α was measured by its ability to stimulate cell proliferation using a mouse helper T cell line, D10.G4.1.
