Binding of soluble interleukin-18 receptor α complex to human natural killer cells expressing interleukin-18 receptor α.
(A) The reaction of the human interleukin (IL)-18 receptor α (hIL-18Rα) complex with the human natural killer (NK) cell line NK0 is shown. NK0 cells were stained with control biotin-labeled mouse immunoglobulin G1 (mIgG1-Bio), biotin-labeled anti-IL-18Rα monoclonal antibody clone 44 (H44-Bio) or biotin-labeled hIL-18Rα complex protein at 4°C for 30 minutes. For blocking assays (bottom), excess nonlabeled IL-18Rα complex proteins (80 μg) were preincubated with the cells at room temperature for 30 minutes. The cells were then stained with biotin hIL-18Rα complex at 4°C for 30 minutes. Streptavidin-PE was used for the second-step staining. FACS analysis was performed as described in Materials and methods. Percentages of immunopositive cells are shown in each graph. sIL-18Rα-Bio, biotin-labeled soluble interleukin-18 receptor α complex. (B) The neutralizing activity of hIL-18Rα complex protein against recombinant hIL-18 (rhIL-18) protein is shown. NK0 cells (5 × 105 cells/mL) were suspended in RPMI 1640 medium with 10% fetal calf serum and then pretreated with hIL-18Rα complex protein (0.003 to 10 μg/mL) for 15 minutes at room temperature. The cells were then stimulated with rhIL-2 (rhIL-2) (50 IU/mL) plus rhIL-18 (50 ng/mL) for 18 hours. Human interferon-γ in the supernatants was then analyzed using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kit

Mouse anti Human CD218a antibody, clone H44 used to assess IL18Rα expression and association with IL-18 by immunoprecipitation
Image caption:
Soluble interleukin-18 receptor α complex is associated with interleukin-18 and the soluble form of the interleukin-18 receptor β chain. (A) Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the serum interleukin (IL)-18 receptor α (IL-18Rα) complex. Purified H44 monoclonal antibody (mAb) was coupled to a 5-mL HiTrap NHS-activated HP column (GE Healthcare). Pooled human blood serum (120 mL) was applied to this affinity column. The IL-18Rα complex was eluted with elution buffer at a flow rate of 2 mL/minute. Every 1 mL of the elution buffer was collected into a test tube containing 50 mL of neutralization buffer (collected fractions were denoted in order as fractions 1, 2, 3 and so on). A 10-μL aliquot of every fraction (fractions 1 to 8) was treated with the same volume of sample buffer containing 4% SDS (Tris-Glycine SDS Sample Buffer (2×); Invitrogen). Electrophoresis was carried out in the presence of 0.1% SDS, and the gel was stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue.

Antibody Quality and Performance Guarantee
| Mouse anti Human CD218a recognizes CD218a also known as IL-18 receptor alpha chain. CD218a is a type I transmembrane protein and has a molecular weight of approxiamtely 75-80 kDa. CD218a expresssion has been detected on NK cells, neutrophils, endothelial cells and certain B and T cell subsets. CD218 combines with IL-18 receptor beta chain to form the IL-18 receptor. IL-18 signaling plays a vital role in innate and autoimmnue responses. |
