Background Information
Interleukin-1α (IL-1 alpha) is a protein that plays a crucial role in the regulation of a number of key cellular processes. IL-1 alpha is a cytokine and a potent mediator of body's response to inflammation, microbial invasion, tissue injury and immunological response. In addition, recent studies suggest that IL-1 alpha also has a role in wound healing, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease and tumor growth. IL-1 alpha functions as an alarmin during the process of sterile inflammation. It serves as a signal from dying cells to potentiate the inflammatory response, increasing the expression of other secreted factors like IL-6 and IL-8. IL-1 alpha was found to affect the cell cycle of osteosarcoma cell to reduce cell growth.

FAQ
1、I have limited sample diluent. How should I handle samples requiring high dilution factors?
Answer: We recommend performing a serial dilution. For example, if human serum requires a 1,000,000-fold dilution, you can use a three-step 100× dilution method as follows:
Step 1: Take 2 uL of human serum and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 100-fold diluted sample.
Step 2: Take 2 uL of the 100-fold diluted sample and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 10,000-fold diluted sample.
Step 3: Take 2 uL of the 10,000-fold diluted sample and add it to 198 uL of sample diluent, mix thoroughly to obtain a 1,000,000-fold diluted sample.
If further dilution is required, additional serial steps can be used. We do not recommend using any other solutions or water for dilution, except for the sample diluent we suggest. If your sample diluent is still insufficient, please contact our customer service for more sample diluent.
2、If thermostatic shaker is not available, will it affect the duration of my experiment and the experimental data?
Answer: If thermostatic shaker is not available, it may take 2.5 hours to complete this experiment. After adding the antibody cocktail, we suggest you incubate the plate at 37℃ for 2 hours. After adding TMB, you only need to incubate the plate at 37℃ for 15 minutes. Through comparative experiments, our R&D personnel have confirmed that you can still obtain valid experimental data, although the signal will be slightly reduced.
