SPR Data Human IL-1R1, His Tag captured on CM5 Chip via anti-his antibody can bind Human IL-1 alpha, No tag with an affinity constant of 0.51 nM as determined in SPR assay (Biacore T200).

Background :
The interleukin (IL)-1 family of cytokines is currently comprised of 11 members that have pleiotropic functions in inflammation and cancer. IL-1α and IL-1β were the first members of the IL-1 family to be described, and both signal via the same receptor, IL-1R. Over the last decade, much progress has been made in our understanding of biogenesis of IL-1β and its functions in human diseases.

Synonyms :
Interleukin-1 alpha; IL-1 alpha; Hematopoietin-1; IL1A; IL1F1; IL-1 alpha; IL1α; IL-1A; IL1
