Scientific Data

Cell Proliferation Induced by IL‑33 and Neutralization by Human IL‑33 Antibody. In the presence of sub-optimal amounts of Hamster Anti-Mouse CD3e Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB484), Recom-binant Human IL-33 (Catalog # 3625-IL) stimulates proliferation in the D10.G4.1 mouse helper T cell line in a dose-dependent manner (orange line). Under these conditions, proliferation elicited by Recombinant Human IL-33 (1 ng/mL) is neutralized (green line) by increasing concentrations of Goat Anti-Human IL-33 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3625). The ND50 is typically 0.75-3.0 µg/mL.

IL‑33 in Human Tonsil. IL-33 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human tonsil using Goat Anti-Human IL-33 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3625) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Goat HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; Catalog # CTS008) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to nuclei.

IL-33 in Human Tonsil Using Dual RNAscope®ISH and IHC. IL-33 mRNA was detected in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections of human tonsil probed with ACD RNAScope®Probe (Catalog # 400111) and stained using ACD RNAscope®2.5 HD Detection Reagents-Red (top image, Catalog # 32260). Adjacent tissue section was processed for immunohistochemistry using R&D Systems Goat Anti-Human IL-33 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF3625) at 3 ug/mL with overnight incubation at 4 °C followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte HRP Polymer Antibody (R&D Systems, Catalog # VC004) and DAB chromogen (lower image, yellow-brown). Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).

Background: IL-33
IL-33, also known as NF-HEV and DVS 27, is a 30 kDa proinflammatory protein that may also regulate gene transcription (1‑3). DVS 27 was identifed as a gene that is up‑regulated in vasospastic cerebral arteries (1). NF-HEV was described as a nuclear factor that is preferentially expressed in the endothelial cells of high endothelial venules relative to endothelial cells from other tissues (2). IL-33 was identified based on sequence and structural homology with IL-1 family cytokines (3). DVS 27, NF-HEV, and IL-33 share 100% amino acid sequence identity. IL-33 is constitutively expressed in smooth muscle and airway epithelia. It is up‑regulated in arterial smooth muscle, dermal fibroblasts, and keratinocytes following IL-1 alpha or IL-1 beta stimulation (1, 3). Similar to IL-1, IL-33 can be cleaved in vitro by caspase-1, generating an N-terminal fragment that is slightly shorter than the C-terminal fragment (3, 4). The N-terminal portion of full length IL-33 contains a predicted bipartite nuclear localization sequence and a homeodomain-like helix-turn-helix DNA binding domain. By immunofluorescence, full length IL-33 localizes to the nucleus in HUVECs and transfectants (2). The C-terminal fragment, corresponding to mature IL-33, binds and triggers signaling through mast cell IL-1 R4/ST2L, a longtime orphan receptor involved in the augmentation of Th2 cell responses (3, 5-7). A ternary signaling complex is formed by the subsequent association of IL-33 and ST2L with IL-1R AcP (8). Stimulation of Th2 polarized lymphocytes with mature IL-33 in vitro induces IL-5 and IL-13 secretion (3). In vivo administration of mature IL-33 promotes increased production of IL-5, IL-13, IgE, and IgA, as well as splenomegaly and inflammatory infiltration of mucosal tissues (3). Full length and mature human IL-33 share 52‑58% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat IL-33. Human IL-33 shares less than 20% aa sequence identity with other IL-1 family proteins.

FAQs
-
Does the Human IL-33 Antibody, Catalog # AF3625, detect full length IL-33 or the cleaved forms?
The immunogen sequence that this antibody recognizes is Ser112-Thr270 from Accession # O95760. This seqeunce corresponds to the cleaved form and is included in the full length sequence. Therefore, we would expect that this antibody detects both the full length and cleaved forms.

We used this antibody in an in-house ELISA along with mAb (3625) and protein (3625-IL-010) to quantify IL-33 in human serum and plasma. This combination could not detect IL-33 in our samples but generated a good standard curve.
Staining was done on human airways after citrate antigen retrieval. OCT sections were used
Published in https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28169287
Used at 10ug/ml.
Briefly, frozen brain sections were fixed in 4% PFA
(Fisher Scientific), followed by antigen retrieval using heating in acid
citric buffer (Vector, Burlingame, CA, USA). Endogenous avidin-biotin was blocked for 15 min (Vector).
Sections were incubated with 10% horse serum in PBS (Biosera, Boussens, France) and Fc Receptor
Blocking Solution was added (Human TruStain FcX Biolegend,
London, UK). Primary antibodies were added overnight at 4 °C.
IL-33 was detected with donkey anti-goat-biotin (ab6578,
Abcam), followed by streptavidin-HRP and visualised with DAB. Section was counterstained with Hematoxylin.
AF3625 was used as both the capture and the detection antibody for the sandwich ELISA for IL-33. The immunoassay standard was 3625-IL. Assay had sensitivity of ~1pg/ml. Many healthy human samples were not detectable.
