Interleukin 18 (IL-18) is a member of the IL-1 family of cytokines and shares numerous immunoregulatory functions with IL-12. The functional IL-18 receptor complex is composed of two subunits designated IL-18 R alpha (also termed IL-1 R5 and IL-1 Rrp) and IL-18 R beta (also termed IL-1 R7 and AcPL). Both IL-18 R alpha and IL-18 R beta belong to the IL-1 receptor superfamily. Although IL-18 R by itself binds IL-18 with low affinity and IL-18 R beta does not bind IL-18 in vitro, co-expression of IL‑18 R alpha and IL‑18 R beta is required for high affinity binding and IL-18 responsiveness. Human IL-18 R cDNA encodes a 541 amino acid (aa) precursor type I membrane protein with a hydrophobic signal, an extracellular domain comprised of three immunoglobulin-like domains, a transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic region of approximately 200 aa. Human and mouse IL-18 R share 65% amino acid sequence homology. IL-18 R is widely expressed in numerous tissues including spleen, thymus, leukocyte, liver, lung, heart, small and large intestine, prostate and placenta.

IL‑18 R alpha /IL‑1 R5 in Human PBMCs.
IL-18 Ra/IL-1 R5 was detected in immersion fixed human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using 10 µg/mL Mouse Anti-Human IL-18 Ra/IL-1 R5 Mono-clonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB840) for 3 hours at room temperature. Cells were stained with the NorthernLights™ 557-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (red; Catalog # NL007) and counter-stained with DAPI (blue).

Detection of IL‑18 R alpha /IL‑1 R5 in Human Skin.
IL‑18 R alpha /IL‑1 R5 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of Human Skin using Mouse Anti-Human IL‑18 R alpha /IL‑1 R5 Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB840) at 15 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Mouse IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC001). Before incubation with the primary antibody, tissue was subjected to heat-induced epitope retrieval using VisUCyte Antigen Retrieval Reagent-Basic (Catalog # VCTS021). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to cytoplasm and cell surface of keratinocytes.

Detection of Human IL-18R alpha/IL-1 R5 by Western Blot
Soluble interleukin-18 receptor alpha complex is associated with interleukin-18 and the soluble form of the interleukin-18 receptor beta chain. (A) Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the serum interleukin (IL)-18 receptor alpha (IL-18R alpha ) complex. Purified H44 monoclonal antibody (mAb) was coupled to a 5-mL HiTrap NHS-activated HP column (GE Healthcare). Pooled human blood serum (120 mL) was applied to this affinity column. The IL-18R alpha complex was eluted with elution buffer at a flow rate of 2 mL/minute. Every 1 mL of the elution buffer was collected into a test tube containing 50 mL of neutralization buffer (collected fractions were denoted in order as fractions 1, 2, 3 and so on). A 10-μL aliquot of every fraction (fractions 1 to 8) was treated with the same volume of sample buffer containing 4% SDS (Tris-Glycine SDS Sample Buffer (2×); Invitrogen). Electrophoresis was carried out in the presence of 0.1% SDS, and the gel was stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue. (B) Western blots of the serum IL-18R alpha complex using an antihuman IL-18R alpha mAb are shown. Western blot analysis was performed using antihuman IL-18R alpha mAb 70625 (R&D Systems, Inc.). Lane 1: Western blot showing 1 μg of rhIL-18R alpha /Fc chimera protein (R&D Systems, Inc.). Lane 2: Western blot showing 5 μg of isolated serum IL-18R alpha complex. (C) Western blot showing serum IL-18R alpha complex using an antihuman IL-18 mAb. Western blot analysis was performed using antihuman IL-18 mAb clone 8 with 5 μg of isolated serum IL-18R alpha complex. (D) Western blot showing serum IL-18R alpha complex using an antihuman IL-18R beta mAb. Western blot analysis was performed using antihuman IL-18R beta mAb 132016 (R&D Systems, Inc.) with 5 μg of isolated serum IL-18R alpha complex.

The synergistic effect of TNF alpha and IL-1 beta /IL-18 on I kappa B zeta protein expression is partially suppressed with a TNF alpha -specific Ab, but completely blocked with IL-1 beta and/or IL-18 neutralization.KG-1 cells (106/ml) were stimulated with rIL-1 beta, rIL-18, rTNF alpha (10 ng/ml each) (A), or the indicated combinations of these cytokines (B and C) for the indicated time points. At selected time points, the cells were incubated with the recombinant proteins in the presence of IL-1ra (100 µg/ml), IL-18R Ab (10 µg/ml), TNF alpha Ab (10 µg/ml), or different combinations of these neutralizing agents. Protein-matched total cell extracts were analyzed by Western blotting using anti-serum against I kappa B zeta and actin Ab. Results are representative of at least 3 separate experiments.
