Summary for Simple Plex Control for Human IL-18 BPa
INTENDED USE AND DESCRIPTION: For use a quantitative control for the determination of human IL-18 BPa concentrations in biological fluids. Controls are supplied lyophilized. Please refer to the lot specific certificate of analysis and Simple Plex Lyophilized Quality Control product insert for additional information.
Interleukin 18 binding proteins are secreted glycoproteins which antagonize IL-18 activity by binding IL-18 and blocking its biological activity. Alternative splicing of the IL-18 BP gene produces at least four isoforms that differ in affinity for IL-18. The IL-18 BP isoforms a and c each contain one immunoglobulin (Ig)-like C2-type domain while isoforms b and d lack a complete Ig-like domain.
