Analysis of IL-18BP (Human) by MSD Hypersensitive Multi-Factor Electrochemiluminescence Analyzer (CAT#: STEM-MB-0319-LGZ)

Introduction

Interleukin-18 (IL18, also known as interferon-γ-inducible factor) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL18 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a pro-inflammatory cytokine. Many cell types, both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic, have the potential to produce IL-18. Interleukin-18 (IL18, also known as interferon-γ-inducible factor) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the IL18 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a pro-inflammatory cytokine. Many cell types, both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic, have the potential to produce IL-18. IL-18 activity can be inhibited by bound extracellular interleukin-18-binding protein (IL-18BP).
