Protocol
The activity of GMP Human IL-18 Protein (Cat. No. GMP-L18H16) was higher than other competing products.
应用数据（Application Data）
Human PBMCs were cultured with GMP Human IL-2 Protein (ACROBiosystems, Cat. No. GMP-L02H14), GMP Human IL-18 Protein (ACROBiosystems, Cat. No. GMP-L18H16) and GMP Human 4-1BB Ligand Protein (ACROBiosystems, Cat. No. GMP-41LH26), in CelThreaTM GMP T Cell Expansion Medium (ACROBiosystems, Cat. No. GMP-CM3101 & GMP-CM3101-1) for two weeks. The result shows that GMP Human IL-18 Protein can promote the expansion of these cells with a reasonable cell viability. Notably, the cells exhibit better expansion in GMP Human IL-18 Protein (ACROBiosystems).
Human PBMCs were cultured with GMP Human IL-2 Protein (ACROBiosystems, Cat. No. GMP-L02H14), GMP Human IL-18 Protein (ACROBiosystems, Cat. No. GMP-L18H16) and GMP Human 4-1BB Ligand Protein (ACROBiosystems, Cat. No. GMP-41LH26), in CelThreaTM GMP T Cell Expansion Medium (ACROBiosystems, Cat. No. GMP-CM3101 & GMP-CM3101-1) for two weeks. The result shows that GMP Human IL-18 Protein (ACROBiosystems) can be comparable with the Competitor M IL-18 protein.
稳定性（Stability）
The Cell based assay shows batch-to-batch consistency between Acro's GMP and PG IL-18.

背景（Background）
Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a potent proinflammatory cytokine that induces interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) production from Th1 cells, NK cells and activated macrophages, particularly in the presence of IL-12. IL-18 also functions in developmental regulation of T-lymphocyte helper type I cells and in Fas-mediated cytotoxicity. Suppression of IL-18 activity is being investigated for treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease and rheumatoid arthritis. It acts by inducing heterodimerization of the two subunits of its receptor, IL-18RAlpha and IL-18RBeta shows structural similarity to IL-1.
