Anti-Mouse IL-1β (Clone B122) recognizes Mouse IL-1β. This monoclonal antibody was purified using multi-step affinity chromatography methods such as Protein A or G depending on the species and isotype.

Interleukin 1 beta (IL1 beta) is a proinflammatory cytokine belonging to IL1 family that is synthesized as a precursor. The IL1 beta precursor form is not biologically active. It is expressed mainly by stimulated macrophages and monocytes.^1,2 IL1 beta is known to be a mediator in inflammatory response and to be involved in a variety of cellular activities, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. It has been recently found that IL1 beta is a major cause of severe inflammation in the mouse model of Crohns disease which makes IL1 beta an important target for this disease.³
