hIL1R1

Fig.1 Detection of IL1R1 expression in spleen by RT-PCR. Mouse Il1r1 mRNA (258 bp) was detectable only in wild-type C57BL/6 mice. Human IL1R1 mRNA (227 bp) was detectable only in homozygous hIL1R1 knockin mice but not in wild-type mice. Spleen RNA was extracted from 10-week-old male wild-type C57BL/6 (WT)(n=1) and homozygous hIL1R1 knockin mice (HO) (n=2), then cDNA libraries were synthesized by reverse transcription, followed by PCR with mRNA primers. 

Abbr. M, marker; HO, homozygous; WT, wild type.

Fig.2 Detection of IL1R1 expression in bladder and spleen by RT-PCR. Mouse Il1r1 mRNA (258 bp) was detectable only in wild-type C57BL/6 mice. Human IL1R1 mRNA (227 bp) was detectable only in homozygous hIL1R1 knockin mice but not in wild-type mice. Bladder and spleen RNA was extracted from 6-week-old female wild-type C57BL/6 (WT)(n=1) and homozygous hIL1R1 knockin mice (HO) (n=2), then cDNA libraries were synthesized by reverse transcription, followed by PCR with mRNA primers.

Fig.3 Detection of IL1R1 expression in hIL1R1 mice by WB. IL1R1 was detectable in spleen from both WT C57BL/6 and HO hIL1R1 mice , as the antibody was cross-reactived between human and mouse IL1R1. The spleen tissue lysates were collected from 10-week-old male wild-type C57BL/6 mice and 10-week-old male homozygous hIL1R1 mice, and then analyzed by western blot with anti-IL1R1 antibody. 

Abbr. HO, homozygous; WT, wild type; PC, positive control, Hela cells.

Fig.4 Detection of mouse IL-6 expression in serum of WT C57BL/6 mice and HO hIL1R1 mice by ELISA. mIL-6 was detectable in serum from both WT C57BL/6 and HO hIL1R1 mice. Serum were collected from wild-type C57BL/6 mice (n=2, female, 10 weeks old) and HO hIL1R1 mice (n=2, female, 10 weeks old), and analyzed by ELISA with anti-mIL6 ELISA kit. 

Abbr.  HO, homozygous; WT, wild type.

Note. hIL1R1 and C57BL/6 mice were i.p. injected with IL-1β(1μg/mouse) for 2h.
