IL-33 (human) (rec.) (His)
HEK-293 cells were transiently co-transfected with 500 ng of human ST2-containing vector (or empty vector as a negative control), a vector containing NF-κB-driven firefly luciferase, and a vector containing Renilla luciferase as a internal control in a 12-well plate. 40hr after transfection, cells were treated with IL33 (human) (rec.) (His) (Prod. No. AG-40A-0042) at the concentration as indicated for 8hr, followed by measurement with a dual luciferase assay.
a) pull down of hIL-33-His by hST2-Fc
b) pull down of hST2-Fc by hIL-33-His
5μg of hST2-Fc (or control Fc protein), 2μg of hIL-33-His (Prod. No. AG-40A-0042) (or control His protein), and protein G resin (or anti-His resin) were incubated in 0.5ml RIPA buffer overnight at 4°C. The precipitates were separated by SDS-PAGE, electro-transferred onto NC membrane, and immunoblotted for the presence of hIL-33-His or hST2-Fc with anti-His HRP or anti-hIgG HRP, respectively.

Interleukin-33 (IL-33; HF-NEV; IL-1F11), a member of the IL-1 family of cytokines, is expressed by many cell types following pro-inflammatory stimulation and is thought to be released on cell lysis. The 30kDa human IL33 is converted by CASP1 to a 18kDa protein. IL33 binds to and signals through ST2 (IL1R1) and its stimulation recruits MYD88, IRAK, IRAK4, and TRAF6, followed by phosphorylation of ERK1 (MAPK3)/ERK2 (MAPK1), p38 (MAPK14), and JNK. The ability of IL-33 to target numerous immune cell types, like Th2-like cells, mast cells, and B1 cells, and to induce cytokine and chemokine production underlines its potential in influencing the outcome of a wide range of diseases, such as arthritis, asthma, atopic allergy & anaphylaxis, cardiovascular disease/atherosclerosis, nervous system diseases, and sepsis.
