These antibodies react with cell surface and soluble human IL-1 receptor. Specific epitopes are unknown, but they do partially inhibit (30-50 %) binding of one another to IL-1 receptor. They do not block binding of IL-1 to receptor, and they do not cross-react with receptors for Human IL-2 or IL-4.

Affinity chromatography on Protein G
Immunogen
Extracellular domain of the type I Human IL-1 receptor.
IL1R is a member of the interleukin 1 receptor family. An experiment with transient gene expression demonstrated that this receptor was incapable of binding to interleukin 1 alpha and interleukin 1 beta with high affinity. IL1R is a receptor for interleukin 1 family member 9 (IL1F9). Binding to the agonist leads to the activation of NF-kappa-B. The gene for this protein and four other interleukin 1 receptor family genes, including interleukin 1 receptor, type I (IL1R1), interleukin 1 receptor, type II (IL1R2), interleukin 1 receptor-like 1 (IL1RL1), and interleukin 18 receptor 1 (IL18R1), form a cytokine receptor gene cluster in a region mapped to chromosome 2q12.Synonyms: IL-1R-alpha, IL1R, IL1RA, IL1RT1, Interleukin-1 receptor alpha, Interleukin-1 receptor type 1, Interleukin-1 receptor type I
