InvivoGen provides a recombinant fully mouse anti-mouse IL-1α-mIgG1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) that was previously extracted from hybridoma. It is now expressed and produced in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, ensuring reliability and lot-to-lot reproducibility. Thereby, common hybridoma-related drawbacks such as the generation of non-relevant mAbs containing aberrant light chains are avoided [1].

The sequence of Anti-mIL-1α-mIgG1 is 100% murine (constant and variable regions), as the original clone (clone 6H7) was raised in mice using a proprietary method. This feature allows for reduced immunogenicity and risks of fatal hypersensitivity reactions upon repeated mAb injections into mice [2-4]. Anti-mIL-1α-mIgG1 neutralizes the precursor and mature form of mIL-1α.

InvivoGen provides this antibody in two grades:

  • In vitro use: Anti-mIL-1α-mIgG1
  • In vivo use: Anti-mIL-1α-mIgG1 InvivoFit™

 

All InvivoFit™ products are handled in a clean room, filter-sterilized, and tested for bacterial contaminants. Additionally, this grade guarantees low levels of endotoxins (<1 EU/ml). The buffer formulation is specifically adapted for in vivo studies.

 

Key features:

  • Potent neutralizing activity against the precursor and mature form of mIL-1α (see figure)
  • Sequence is 100% murine
  • Murine IgG1 isotype (constant region)
  • No cross-reactivity with murine IL-1β, human IL-1α, or human IL-1β
  • Free from non-relevant mAbs found in hybridoma-based productions
  • Produced in animal-free facilities and defined media
  • Low aggregation <5%
  • InvivoFit™ grade is available
     

Anti-mIL-1α-mIgG1 is designed to efficiently neutralize the biological activity of mIL-1α. Interleukin 1α (IL-1α) is a dual-functional cytokine that can act as a transcription factor or an alarmin triggering local inflammation [5].

Anti-mIL-1α-mIgG1 InvivoFit™ is a potent neutralization antibody. Increasing concentrations of Anti-mIL-1α-mIgG1 InvivoFit™ were incubated for 30 minutes with the recombinant cytokine mIL 1α (10 ng/ml) prior to the addition of HEK-Blue™ IL-1β cells. After overnight incubation, SEAP activity in the cell culture supernatant was assessed using QUANTI-Blue™ Solution. Data are shown in percentage (%) of neutralization.

Details

Interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1α) is a member of the IL-1 family of pro-inflammatory cytokines and plays an important role in the regulation of immune responses. It is constitutively expressed by many cell types, including fibroblasts, keratinocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells and T cells. Although, endothelial and epithelial cells are the main source of IL-1α under physiological and pathological conditions [1].

Both IL-1 group members, IL-1α and IL-1β, are expressed as precursors that are further processed into mature secreted forms. However, unlike IL-1β, the pro-form and the mature version of IL-1α show strong biological activities [2]. The pro-IL-1α can be cleaved by several proteases (e.g. granzyme B, caspase-5 and -11, calpain) into a 17-kDa mature form and a 16-kDa N-terminal 'propiece' harboring a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) [1]. 

Following protease-dependent processing, the mature IL-1α is rapidly secreted through pores of the plasma membrane. There, it interacts with the IL-1 receptor 1 (IL-1R1), which is shared with IL-1β. Upon receptor-ligand binding, a structural change of the receptor occurs allowing the co-receptor IL-1R3 to bind and form a trimeric complex [3]. Subsequently, the intracellular adapter protein MyD88 (myeloid differentiation primary response 88) becomes phosphorylated triggering an intricate sequence of (auto-) phosphorylation, complex formation and ubiquitination events. Finally, activated NK-kB, c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways induce the expression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, such as IL-6 and IL-8 [4].

Indeed, IL-1α is quite unique as it appears to be the only cytokine that could (a) translocate into the nucleus to regulate downstream gene expressions, (b) anchor to the cell membrane to activate IL-1/IL-1R signaling, (c) secrete out of the cell and activate the IL-1/IL1R signaling, and (d) stay in the cytosol with unknown function. The underlying mechanisms that determine and regulate its subcellular dual-functional localization remain a major question in this field [1].

In response to tissue damage or pathogen invasion, IL-1α is either released from dying cells as an alarmin, or exposed on the surface of cells undergoing oxidative or metabolic stress [2]. Due to its role in mediating acute and local inflammation, IL-1α has emerged as a therapeutic target for diseases characterized by tissue or organ inflammation (e.g. myositis, COVID-19, cancer) [1-2].
