Application Note | This antiserum against Human IL-1 Receptor Type II (IL-1RII) has been tested by western blot and is suitable for use in ELISA, radioimmunoassays and immunoprecipitation. Reactivity in other immunoassays is unknown. IL-1RII has been termed p68 or CD121 in some laboratories. IL-1RII has been shown to bind IL-1, IL-1a and IL-1b. |
Physical State | Liquid (sterile filtered) |
Buffer | 0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.15 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2 |
Immunogen | This whole rabbit serum was prepared by repeated immunizations with recombinant human IL-1R type II. |
Preservative | 0.01% (w/v) Sodium Azide |
Gene ID | 7850 |

Other Names | 7850 |
Purity | This antiserum is directed against the extracellular domain of the human IL-1R type II, but precipitates the intact receptor expressed on human cells. In general, this antibody also detects primate IL-1RII. The antibody does not recognize human IL-1, IL-1Ra or IL-1R type I. In ELISA formats and other immunoreactive assays, this antibody will detect the extracellular domain of the IL-1R type II (also called soluble IL-1R type II) found in human body fluids, particularly in the circulation, urine and supernatants of cells and synovial fluid. |
Storage Condition | Store vial at -20° C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. |
Precautions Note | This product is for research use only and is not intended for therapeutic or diagnostic applications. |

Synonyms | IL1RB |
Function | Non-signaling receptor for IL1A, IL1B and IL1RN. Reduces IL1B activities. Serves as a decoy receptor by competitive binding to IL1B and preventing its binding to IL1R1. Also modulates cellular response through non-signaling association with IL1RAP after binding to IL1B. IL1R2 (membrane and secreted forms) preferentially binds IL1B and poorly IL1A and IL1RN. The secreted IL1R2 recruits secreted IL1RAP with high affinity; this complex formation may be the dominant mechanism for neutralization of IL1B by secreted/soluble receptors. |
Cellular Location | [Isoform Short]: Secreted |

Background
Interleukin-1 Receptor Type 2 (IL-1RII) is a non-signaling receptor for IL1A, IL1B and IL1RN and reduces IL1B activities. It serves as a decoy receptor by competitive binding to IL1B and preventing its binding to IL1R1. It also modulates cellular response through non-signaling association with IL1RAP after binding to IL1B. IL1R2 (membrane and secreted forms) preferentially binds IL1B and poorly IL1A and IL1RN. The secreted IL1R2 recruits secreted IL1RAP with high affinity; this complex formation may be the dominant mechanism for neutralization of IL1B by secreted/soluble receptors.
