Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a pleiotropic cytokine involved in the regulation of innate and acquired immune response. In the milieu of IL-12 or IL-15, IL-18 is a potent inducer of IFN-gamma in natural killer (NK) cells and CD4 T helper (Th) 1 lymphocytes. However, IL-18 also modulates Th2 and Th17 cell responses, as well as the activity of CD8 cytotoxic cells and neutrophils, in a host microenvironment-dependent manner. IL-18 is a cytokine that stimulates various cell types and has pleiotropic functions. Recently, IL-18 has also been shown to execute specific effects in pancreatic diseases, including acute and chronic pancreatitis, as well as pancreatic cancer.
Measured by its ability to enhance IFN-γ secretion in KG-1 human myelomonocyte cells. The EC50 for this effect is less than 10ng/ml.
1μg (R: reducing condition, N: non-reducing condition).
>95% as determined by RP-HPLC.
