Active Interleukin 32 (IL32)

Interleukin-32 (IL-32) is an interleukin cytokine usually linked to inflammation. The IL-32 transcript is expressed in various human tissues and organs such as the spleen, thymus, leukocyte, lung, small intestine, colon, prostate, heart, placenta, liver, muscle, kidney, pancreas, and brain. Cytokines are critical components of cell signaling pathways that are involved in the regulation of cell growth, metabolism, hormone signaling, immune regulation and a variety of other physiological functions. FGFR1 has been identified as an interactor of IL-32, thus a functional binding ELISA assay was conducted to detect the interaction of recombinant human IL-32 and recombinant human FGFR1. Briefly, IL-32 was diluted serially in PBS with 0.01% BSA (pH 7.4). Duplicate samples of 100 μl were then transferred to FGFR1-coated microtiter wells and incubated for 1h at 37℃. Wells were washed with PBST and incubated for 1h with anti-IL-32 pAb, then aspirated and washed 3 times. After incubation with HRP labelled secondary antibody for 1h at 37℃, wells were aspirated and washed 5 times. With the addition of substrate solution, wells were incubated 15-25 minutes at 37℃. Finally, add 50 µL stop solution to the wells and read at 450/630nm immediately. The binding activity of recombinant human IL-32 and recombinant human FGFR1 was shown in Figure 1, the EC50 for this effect is 0.15 ug/mL.
