Fc (LALA-PG)-KIH (human):IL-1Ra (mouse) (monomeric) (rec.)
Product Details | |
---|---|
Synonyms | Fc (LALA-PG)-KIH:Interleukin-1 Receptor Antagonist (mouse); IL-1Ra; Interleukin-1R Antagonist |
Product Type | Protein |
Properties | |
Source/Host | HEK 293 cells. Produced using animal component-free medium. |
Sequence |
The extracellular domain of mouse IL-1Ra (aa 27-178) is fused to the C-terminus of the Fc (LALA-PG) Knob region of human IgG1. Fc (LALA-PG) Knobs:IL-1Ra (mouse) and Fc (LALA-PG) Holes form the Fc (LALA-PG)-KIH (human):IL-1Ra (mouse) (rec.) using the Knobs-into-Holes technology (see reference: J.B. Ridgway, et al.; Protein Eng. 9, 617 (1996)). |
Crossreactivity | Mouse |
Specificity |
Binds to mouse IL-1R1. Fc (LALA-PG)-KIH (human) does not bind to FcRs. |
Biological Activity |
It inhibits the binding of IL-1α and IL-1β to the receptor IL-1R. The Fc contains the mutations LALA-PG that abolish the interaction between the Fc and FcγRs and therefore Fc undesirable effects. |
MW | ~50kDa and 30 kDa (SDS-PAGE) |
Purity | ≥95% (SDS-PAGE) |
Endotoxin Content | <0.005 EU/μg purified protein (LAL test). |
Concentration | 1mg/ml after reconstitution. |
Reconstitution | Reconstitute with 50μl endotoxin-free water. |
Accession Number | PP25085 |
Formulation | Lyophilized. Contains PBS |
Protein Negative Control |
Fc (LALA-PG)-KIH (human) IgG1 Control (rec.) (Prod. No. AG-35B-0018) |
Other Product Data |
NCBI reference P25085: IL-1Ra (mouse) |
Shipping and Handling | |
Shipping | BLUE ICE |

IL-1 is a group of inflammatory cytokines, represented by interleukin-1α and interleukin-1β. IL-1Ra is a cytokine initially isolated from macrophages. It shares 19% of homologous amino acids with IL1A and 30% of homologous amino acids with IL1B. IL-1Ra is abundant in the proximal digestive tract reproductive system, skin, bone marrow, and liver. IL-1Ra is the principal endogenous IL-1 antagonist. IL-1Ra is upregulated during host acute or chronic inflammatory responses. IL-1Ra plays diverse roles in anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor processes, either inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and proliferation or suppressing tumor migration and metastasis.
The protein Fc (LALA-PG)-KIH (human):IL-1Ra (mouse) (monomeric) (rec.) is produced by using two different vectors, one encoding for the Fc Knobs (LALA-PG) (human):IL-1Ra (mouse) sequence (synthesizing a protein of 50kDa) and one encoding for the Fc Holes (LALA-PG) sequence (synthesizing a protein of 30kDa). Both vectors transfected into HEK293 cells produce both Fc molecules (Knobs-into-Holes technology; J.B. Ridgway, et al.; Protein Eng. 9, 617 (1996)) required for dimerization and for secretion of the final protein Fc (LALA-PG)-KIH (human):IL-1Ra (mouse) (monomeric) (rec.). This Fc-KIH format allows our mouse IL-1Ra protein to form a monomer that is the most active structure to bind and inhibit the IL-1 receptor. The LALA-PG mutations inhibit binding to FcγRs and C1q while FcRn binding and Fc stability remain unaffected.
