Anti-IL-1α Antibody

Raised in rabbit and affinity-purified for research-grade detection of endogenous IL-1α, this unconjugated polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com is supplied as a 50 µL liquid at 1 mg/mL in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) with 0.05% sodium azide at approximately pH 7.2. Validated for Western blot and immunohistochemistry workflows, it binds the IL1A target in human samples, making it a practical choice for laboratories profiling pro-inflammatory cytokine signaling in inflammation, autoimmune, and oncology research. The polyclonal format provides broader epitope coverage than monoclonal alternatives, which is particularly useful when probing the 31 kDa IL-1α precursor as well as its processed 17 kDa mature form. Store refrigerated at 2–8 °C; avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to preserve antibody activity, and aliquot upon first use if extended storage is planned. The reagent is intended for research use only and pairs well with HRP- or fluorophore-conjugated secondary antibodies, depending on the chosen detection chemistry for WB membranes or formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections.
